Julian Foad commented on SVN-2354:
----------------------------------

Adjusted the summary and description to address only property getting functions, as property setting was dealt with in SVN-783.

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-2354
>             Project: Subversion
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: libsvn_client
>    Affects Versions: 1.2.x
>            Reporter: C. Michael Pilato
>             Fix For: unscheduled
>
>
> The current implementations of libsvn_client's property functions currently
> offer only the following feedback mechanisms:
> * a single error code (which doesn't offer per-item feedback on recursive operations)
> * a massive hash of paths and properties (which is very un-streamy, memory wasteful, etc.)
> -The property setting functions should learn to use the client notification-
> -function and baton to report per-item status of operations ("i did set that-
> -property on path FOO", "i ran into an error setting that property on path BAR",-
> -etc.).- (See SVN-783)
> The property getting functions should grow custom callbacks for
> reporting property findings on a per-item basis, something like:
> * propget:  path -> (err, propval)
> * proplist:  path -> (err, { propname : propval, propname : propval ... })
> And then, the command-line client should learn to use the now-streamy APIs.
