enable-auto-props does not work for svn:keywords

[Joseph Turian <tu...@gmail.com>]

Dear Subversion community,

I cannot get enable-auto-props to work.
Specifically, I would like svn:keywords="Id Date Author Revision 
LastChangedDate" on EVERY file.

The short version of the question is:
What do I need to do to get svn:keywords auto-prop to update the $Id$ text 
of files already checked-in to the repository?


Details:

Here is my .subversion/config file:
[miscellany]
enable-auto-props = yes
[auto-props]
* = svn:keywords=Id Date Author Revision LastChangedDate

Now, there's file "foo" that's already in the repository, and this file 
contains just:
$Id$
[EOF]

If I remove the file and then do an 'svn update', it pulls 'foo' from the 
repository but does not update the $Id$ text.
If I add a blank line to the file and commit it, the $Id$ text still remains 
unchanged.

How can I get the $Id$ text to expand given my auto-props?

I have tried changing my config file such that the keywords list is quoted 
and unquoted, neither works.

Thank you for any help you can offer

Joseph

Hannes,

Thank you for clarifying that for me.

One more question:
In the config file, will both of the following work?

* = svn:keywords=Id Date Author Revision LastChangedDate
* = svn:keywords="Id Date Author Revision LastChangedDate"


Thanks,
Joseph

autoprops does its magic only when adding or importing files, says the book:

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html#svn.advanced.props.auto 


# Subversion also provides the auto-props feature, which allows you to
# create mappings of filename patterns to property names and values.
# These mappings are made in your runtime configuration area. *They
# again affect adds and imports*, [...]

Just last week I wrote a Python script that applies to matching files and directories in your working copy the properties listed in your $HOME/.subversion/config file.

You can find the script at
