reverting a property

[Sebastien LEDUC <se...@st.com>]

Hi,
Is there a way to revert only a specific property set on a file or 
directory?

Thanks in advance
Sebastien

Revert will revert the property change, but also revert any content changes if 
you have the property on a file.

If the script your talking about is not svnmerge.py, then you may want to 
consider moving over to this tool on any new branches.

http://www.orcaware.com/svn/wiki/index.php/Svnmerge.py

It's being maintained by several people, including me, and there's an active 
mailing list for development of it, so you'll spend less development time on it. 
  It's also used on the Subversion repository itself.

Also, I imagine, that when svn itself includes a merge tracking feature, 
somebody will write an import tool for svnmerge.py into the final version.

Regards,
Blair

"svn propdel" will remove the property, so this is not what I want.
we use a script which uses properties to track merges between branches.
After merging, the script needs to restore the value of the property 
before the merge.
The method used for the moment is to get the value of the property, do 
the merge, and then set the saved value to restore it to its original state.

What would be nice would be to be able to use svn revert to undo the 
modification of the property
