The "InheritedProperties" page has been changed by JulianFoad: http://wiki.apache.org/subversion/InheritedProperties?action=diff&rev1=4&rev2=5 Comment: Add note about inability to delete an inherited property from a child 1. Unlike svn:mergeinfo, the property value a child inherits from a parent will not be modified based on the path-difference between the parent and child. The property value on the parent is the value the child will inherit. There are no plans to provide an API which reveals the specific parent path a child inherits from. 1. While setting inheritable properties on a file has no meaning from the standpoint of inheritance, the property still applies to the file itself. Thus there will be no prohibitions on setting inheritable properties on files. + {{{#!wiki note + [JAF] I note that there is no ability to specify that an inheritable property should be '''''deleted''''' rather than overridden with a new value. Thus we can't use absent/present semantics similar to 'svn:needs-lock'. If we set an inheritable equivalent of 'svn:needs-lock = *' on a parent dir, there is no way to designate a particular child node as explicitly removing that inherited property. That's probably fine -- we can just avoid using the absent/present semantics for that kind of purpose -- but it deserves to be mentioned. + }}} + '''''### TBD: Externals: Do they work like switched subtrees?''''' == Inherited Properties Cache ==
