I suppose what I am really looking for is some type of "views" feature
like databases have.
So, I might wish to do checkouts and commits, but only on a select few
files in the repository. The determination of which files to
checkout/commit would be based on the propset labels instead of any
particular branch or directory tree.
So, I guess this has turned into a feature request for something like.
svn co svn://repository/ with contraints of branch name+label combination.
Instead of the contraint of just branch name.
On another note, what are the current properties actually used for?
