This would be much simpler than try to do the same through a hook. What do you think about it?What an odd coincidence. Just an hour ago, I responded on someone's blog post about almost exactly the same thing: http://mjtsai.com/blog/2008/06/21/subversions-biggest-hole/ Here's what I wrote: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Completely agree. In fact, we've had an open issue for this feature for a while: http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1974 The reason it's hard to implement has to do with the way Subversion working copy data is structured: most of the configuration information a server would be broadcasting would be associated with paths and directory trees (svn:ignore data is a perfect example), and because our working copy metadata is spread out, it's hard to get the "inheritance" behavior right. In retrospect, we probably should have done centralized metadata storage for working copies -- and in fact, there's a rewrite of the working copy code under way to do exactly that, after which adding this feature would become much easier. |
