svn propset syntax?

[Phil <pl...@gmail.com>]

I am using this command on subversion 1.2.3

svn propset svn:needs-lock --revprop -r HEAD 1 http://vsubversion/svn/docs

But I get a failure:
svn: DAV request failed; it's possible that the repository's
pre-revprop-change hook either failed or is non-existent
svn: At least one property change failed; repository is unchanged

I have changed the default hook script to allow svn:needs-lock by modifying
the script as follows:
#if [ "$ACTION" = "M" -a "$PROPNAME" = "svn:log" ]; then exit 0; fi
if [ "$ACTION" = "M" -a "$PROPNAME" = "svn:needs-lock" ]; then exit 0; fi

and I even did a chmod 777 on the script just to make sure it was not a
properties issue...

Anything else I chould try? or is my syntax wrong?

I haven't worked much with properties yet, but "svn help propset"  
says it does have a recursive option, which should help you.

svn:needs-lock is a versioned property, not a revision property. You  
set it by checking out a working copy, then using e.g...

svn propset svn:needs-lock "on" foo

...where foo is the file whose svn:needs-lock property you want to  
enable. Then you commit that change.

You do not use the pre-revprop-change hook for this because it is not  
a revision property.
