RE: Re: centrally managing svn properties

Thank you Ryan and David.

I will look into your suggestions.

Yes, from my perspective, the ability to configure valid properties would be
nice. I actually was expecting/hoping the answer would be "add them to file
xyz". Now that I think about it, the only config files I've been using are
the ones for access roles and apache config, so I guess config files are not
a wide spread "tool" within Subversion (well, I don't know, I'm not a
Subversion expert, only just getting started).

Thanks for your help!

Regards,
Beatriz.

Specifically, "svnlook pl". I hadn't thought about configuring valid
properties before, but now that Beatriz mentions it, that would be a
nice feature. One can certainly disallow properties via hooks at least.
I think it would be nice to have a Subversion property
configuration/list feature. This way tools like Tortoise can call on
that information to list available properties and disallow "invalid"
ones.
