API function to set a regular property value

[ma...@excite.com]

 

Hi,I am desperatly looking for a way to write a C program that will set the value of a property without a working copy.My repository is primarily accessed by WebDAV.� Every time a file is added to the repository, I'd like to assign it a unique identifier (GUID) programatically.� I would like to do that using a hook script.� I know the warning related to modifying a transaction during commit but still would like to do it.Is there an API other than the WebDAV one that will let me work on a file without a WC ?Thanks in advance, Marc

Currently there is no API for that at the client level.  You could
write something that uses libsvn_ra to do it, it wouldn't actually be
that hard to do.  Just grab a commit editor, open the file/directory
you want to modify a prop on, then modify the property, then close the
file/directory and close the editor and you're done.
