Donald, Thank you for reacting on this issue.
It doesn't seem to me that the issue is my tool, behavior or style, but in the general approach to the generated files. The existing SVN properties of Geronimo repository shows that in some cases the known generated files are added to svn:ignore list to avoid those files being tracked by the SVN client, and that looks logical to me. What I'm talking about is not a major change, but an attempt to create a consistent set of properties by updating properties for some particular directories. And I can't see how that could impact others, as the proposed change affects only particular generated files and directories, not any global policy of any kind. But if you think it's global enough :), sure, I could start a [DISCUSS] thread. Thanks!
