RE: New SHA1 property for nodes returned 'svn ls --xml' invocations.

This doesn’t look like some kind of update request (more like a commit). We use many different propfind requests, which usually only return the requested information as that is far more efficient than requesting all properties.

I don’t see why we would need it on commit, so I’m not surprised that we don’t request it from the server just to slow the request down.

In the implementation I see that we declare the sha1-checksum as live properties, so you should be able to request them if you construct an appropriate PROPFIND request. The ‘cadaver’ project build on top of the neon library might be an easy way to construct such a request.

You're right - and in the fullness of time, I'll replace all the Svn uses with their wire equivalents. If Shas were implemented at some future date, I'd be happy for them to be available via PROPFIND. I's be even more happy for them to be passed back to me in the response of a PUT.

Or are you saying that shas are presently implemented but I have missed it?

Cranking up the proxy server, Charles, is a great way to see what Svn is doing on the wire. Here is svnmucc pushing up a new resource to Svn (no working copy):

Doing a second svnmucc operation on the same (now existing) resource, I can see via Charles that the second PROPFIND is returning 'rvr/65' for the now-existing resource (now a 207 response status). That's certainly not a sha, so I think you mistyped.
