Oops, learned something new :-). I thought Daniel was making it up.

Indeed.
A related question then (sorry if this is in the spec or a mail-thread
-- I have read a lot of it, but haven't gone through all the details):
will a setting of enable-auto-props=no in the config file of the
user's runtime config ignore the svn:auto-props? How about when it's
set as a command line option, like my example above?
On first sight, this seems to me the best behavior:
- If enable-auto-props is not set (which is normally the case when you
have a fresh install of svn): defaults to "no" for runtime config
(miscellany), but still applies the svn:auto-props settings.
- If enable-auto-props = no -> no auto-props are applied, not even the
svn:auto-props.
- If enable-auto-props = yes -> all are applied.
- The above rules apply wherever the enable-auto-props is set (I mean:
the existing priority rules are applicable)
The first rule introduces an inconsistency between
auto-props-in-config and svn:auto-props, but for a very good reason:
it allows svn:auto-props to impact freshly installed svn clients, no
need for all end users to go fiddling in their config file to enable
the auto-props feature.
(sorry if I'm rehashing old arguments/specs/discussions ... I claim
not-able-to-follow-everything-ness :-))
