Setting a property remotely

[ro...@mailpoalim.co.il]

Hi,

Using Subversion 1.1.0 on Windows, I'm trying to set the svn:ignore
property directly on a repository directory.

D:\svn>svn ps --revprop -r HEAD svn:ignore -F d:\svn\ignore.pat
file:///d:/svn/myrepos/mydir

property 'svn:ignore' set on repository revision 65

D:\svn>svn pg svn:ignore file:///d:/svn/myrepos/mydir

D:\svn>

It works when I checkout the entire directory to a working copy, set the
property and then commit, but that's a bit awkward.

Am I doing anything wrong, or is this expected behaviour?

-Roy.

svn:ignore is NOT a revprop.  Drop the "--revprop" from your first 
command line, and you'll be fine.

To devs:  maybe Subversion should notice incorrect usage of the special 
svn:* properties (revpropped when should not, and vice-versa) ?

Bye,
François

It's not that awkward when you realize that the property you've just set 
is also versioned by SVN. To be able to commit edit something that's 
versioned by SVN, you have to check it out, edit it locally and then 
commit. The ignore property you just set is stored in the repository and 
stays with the directory it was set on. Even when someone else checks 
out the same directory.
