Re: Possibly a bug in SVN 1.5.X

Hi,

Based on this explanation it makes sense...

It was "pom.xml" instead ;-)

Hm...

The following two commands will result in recursing into the
subdirectories....
> svn propget "svn:keywords" -R
> svn proplist -R
so these two commands are working with the implicit target '.' as well....

on the other side:
>svn ps "svn:ignore" "test" . -R
will do an recursive setting of the (directory-)property in all
subdirectories.

So in other words (svn ps "property" "value" filename -R) is desired not
to go throught the subdirectories, but I would suggest to change the svn
propset command to my suggested one...cause it would make thinks more
simpler...

So my suggestion is the following:

svn ps "property" "value" pom.xml (Only in current directory)
svn ps "property" "value" pom.xml -R (in all subdirectories)
svn ps "property" "value" *.xml (only in current directory)
svn ps "property" "value" *.xml -R (in all subdirectories)

The supplemental suggestion will to change the help messages and the SVN
Book as well to make that point more clear...

Kind regards
