OK, here's a quick note regarding .svnignore *properties* instead of
files.
As svn depends more and more on *properties* on files, it seems that it
would be nice to have a standard patch-esque way of distributing property
changes on mailing lists & etc. For example, I've got a patch outstanding
that adds a new 'date-test' program to subversion/tests/libsvn_subr. In
the 'old' version of my patch I included an extra line to .cvsignore to
ignore this generated executable; currently I could add the line to
.svnignore --- but how would I do this in the new properties-enabled
world?
I think that, to maximally enable collaboration, it would be great if we
provided a sort of patch++ format that could handle these sorts of
contributions. One possibility would be to create special 'filenames' for
the properties (say, foo/svn:ignore for a property of foo) and pipe the
patch output through svn. svn could dump the properties to the special
files, then run 'normal' patch, then re-slurp the properties from the
special files and clean up.
I'm sure there are more elegant ideas for how this might be done. But I
think it's important to think about. 'patch' is a terrific tool, but it
doesn't handle properties well. How do we address this?
