Yes, you are right, we did gloss over this. In Subclipse we would use the
anchor of the commit, although since we do not have inherited properties,
we will start with the anchor of the commit and then move up the WC
hierarchy if necessary to find the property. Using Subversion as an
example, if the property were only set on the trunk folder and that is
what you checked out in your WC, you can do a commit at a lower level,
such as the libsvn_fsfs folder and we will walk up the WC to find the
property if necessary.
If we had inherited properties, we would just use the anchor of the
commit.
