right, though if you want to audit the ckeckin, i.e. block it depending on
issue- or revision-specific characteristics,
you have to put it into the pre-commit script.

Now I understand why I didn't find unversioned properties. Yes, I believe
having something like 'svn co -p foo=bar ...' where
property 'foo' is set to 'bar' would be a very useful addition. That's more
than a convenience, I believe, as it enables me
to treat annotated checkins atomically, i.e. use customized properties for
the issue tracker. I'd rather not embedd any
metadata into the log, so this will remain fully targetted at human readers.
Should I file an enhancement request for this ? How involved would an
implementation be ?
Thanks,
Stefan
