Hi!

Thanks for your answer!

I know that one can remove the properties prior to commiting... It's just a
lot of my developers keep them sneaking in :|
The issue it was causing was a change in the regular expression used for
the ticket string. We changed our project root, and because there were some
folders with copied properties (way down deep in the tree, most folders are
prop free), the people were strangely not able to commit on those folders
(i.e. pre-commit hook denying the wrong ticket format).

Furthermore there are a few less critical properties like
min-comment-length, etc. But again, if we change these, we had to make sure
that every subfolder is changed, otherwise the commit would be rejected by
our pre-commit hook.

Yes, I can ask my developers to remove the properties prior to commiting.
But just one slipped through property copy can leave me scratching my head
and debugging why stuff is not working. And I'd rather spend that hour
developing :)

Maybe the new inheritable props from svn 1.8.x are the true remedy...

Greetings

Nico
