Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Subversion Wiki" fo=
r change notification.

The "Inheritable-Ignores-AutoProps" page has been changed by pburba:

ff&rev1=3D14&rev2=3D15

Comment:
Tweak to reflect that we've decided the --no-ignore and --no-auto-props opt=
ions disable the new inheritable properties.

  =3D=3D=3D Behavioral Specification =3D=3D=3D
  Two new Subversion reserved properties, "svn:auto-props" and "svn:global-=
ignores", will provide additional configuration information that overrides/=
extends the settings found in the user's run-time configuration.
  =

- This "svn:auto-props" property will (no surprise!) override/extend the au=
to-props configuration settings which dictate the properties which are auto=
matically set  on newly added or imported files.  Unlike traditional auto-p=
rops, which can be disabled in the run-time config (i.e. "enable-auto-props=
 =3D no"), svn:auto-props cannot be disabled by a well-behaved client.

rops, which can be disabled in the run-time config (i.e. "enable-auto-props=

 when configuration auto-props are not.  The exception to this is the --no-=
auto-props option, which disregards all auto-props.
  =

- The "svn:global-ignores" property will extend the global-ignores configur=
ation settings and the existing svn:ignore property, both of which define f=
ile patterns that are ignored by the svn status, import, and add subcommand=
s. Like svn:auto-props, svn:global-ignores cannot be disregarded by a well-=
behaved client.  The only exception to this is the 'svn status' subcommand =
when the --no-ignore option is used.  In that case all unversioned paths, e=
ven if they match a svn:global-ignores pattern, are still revealed with the=
 "I" status.

- The configuration dictated by the "svn:auto-props" and "svn:global-ignore=
s" properties can at best be only a suggestion to the client. Older clients=
 will obviously not understand the meaning of these properties and as open =
source software it is relatively easy for a malicious user to modify a clie=
nt to ignore these special properties.  Given this reality, server-side enf=
orcement of desired behaviors (where possible, and often via hook scripts) =
is still strongly recommended.

  The new "ephemeral transaction properties" feature (see http://subversion=
.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3D4124) provide a simple way for servers=
 to disallow commits from clients which don't claim to understand svn:auto-=
props. Thus there is no new capability string required for this feature.
