Based on everyone's feedback, here's my revised doc. There are a few
questions under Update.
svn:needs-lock behaviors:
=========================
Checkout:
- If svn:needs-lock is set on a file when the file is checked out, set
the file to read-only.
Update:
- If svn:needs-lock is unset in wc, but update sets it:
- If the file has local mods, print a warning and do nothing???
- Else, set file to read-only.
- If svn:needs-lock is set in wc, but update unsets it: Set file to
read-write.
- If svn:needs-lock is set or unset in both places: Do nothing.
- If svn:needs-lock is set and the lock is removed by update (i.e.,
the lock in the wc was defunct):
- If the file has local mods, print a warning and do nothing???
- Else, set the file to read-only.
Propset:
- Setting the svn:needs-lock property does the following:
- If the file is not locked, it sets the file to read-only.
- If the file is locked, it does nothing.
- If file has local mods, it does nothing (see Commit, below)
- If the file is scheduled to be added, it does nothing (see Commit,
below)
(Propset also canonicalizes the value to '*')
Propdel:
- Removing svn:needs-lock sets the file to read-write.
Propedit:
- If the property is changed via propedit, we need to canonicalize it
to '*'.
Lock:
- If svn:needs-lock is set, the file is set to read-write.
Unlock:
- If svn:needs-lock is set, the file is set to read-only.
Copy:
- repos-to-wc or wc-to-wc copy: Ensure that the copy is read-write
even if svn:needs-lock is set as this is another schedule add case.
Commit:
- If a file has the svn:needs-lock property set:
- If file had local mods, set the file to read-only.
- If file is being added, set the file to read-only.
Caveats:
- 'svn update' doesn't currently work on Windows if the working files
are read-only, you will need to add some permission changing code.
