So what I have to do is

1) make changes to code
2) do the propset thing above
3) svn commit

Humm I was thinging (and looking) at the commit command.... but I think
that a seperate command..... wait one. what about the following case.

BACKGROUND

 we have a thing called an eco (think of it as a bugzilla number) that
 an engineer MUST have to make any change to the code.

NOW

I am working on say eco-10501 and eco-10515 and have changed /bar/foo/stuff.c
for 10515 and have change /bas/bas/main.c for 10501.

I have finished 10501 and will

cd /bas/bas and do a svn commit (ecos tend to be from one point in the tree
 down)

I will enter my comment (under CVS we have a template with the eco: and
 a script that rejects the commit if that is not correct) and commit

if I do the svn propset -rN eco 10501 and forget to do
svn propset -rN eco 10515 before my next commit then I will have the incorect
eco in the commit that takes care of 10515.

I can of course wrap this in a script so that the engineer has to enter
the eco each time.
