Yes, I'm aware of this.

When importing the code, we are setting this flag for all existing code
modules. We also have a hook script in place that will block the commit of
any file that does not have svn:needs-lock or svn:keywords including Id in
place.

However, this is going to be a frustrating experience when adding new files,
several stages of reject to get through. Thus the plan was to install config
on each developers machine to include auto-props for the two properties,
plus a few other little tweaks we may include.

Now, I could ask the developers to install the TSVN installer, then apply
the localconfig.exe installer, but I'd rather make it a one step MSI to
install the whole lot (so they don't get nosey too!)

That was more what I was hoping to do, can Orca rebuild an MSI without
VS2005 installed? That's the problem I have at the moment, I can't build the
installer (or edit it easily) as we don't have VS2005.

Cheers,

Mike
