svn pset

[jr...@lexmark.com]

Hello.

Is there a way I can set a property of a directory or file without doing a
checkout first?

Sincerely,
Jerry

No, but 'svn propset --revprop -rX' works.  It just changes
unversioned revision props, not versioned file/dir props.

If the actions remain intuitive when translated from working copies to
repositories, and so long as we don't wind up with nasty syntax
modifications, then yeah, I see no reason not to expand functionality
in that way.  That said, this type of coverage is not to be considered
anything but a convenience for the user -- most definitely not a 1.0
(shoot, or even a 2.0) requirement, in my opinion.

As a matter of policy, do we want all Subversion working-copy-changing actions to have counterparts that directly change the repository?  If so, it's fine to head in that direction one step at a time.  If not, we should probably consciously avoid heading in that direction at all.  (I have no opinion on this.)

Huh... so 'svn propset URL' doesn't work?

Hm, well, to do it *right* would cost more, methinks.  Gotta do the
property validation/normalization and such, gotta decide whether (and
how) to handle the recursive case, etc...

/me withdraws his bets.

Not yet.

Hm... I betcha I could implement that in 30 minutes or less.  Now, if
only I had 30 minutes to spare...

No.  Text and properties of files/dirs can only be changed in a
working copy.
