Recently Johan proposed supporting multiple targets for svnlook propget: http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2012-11/0439.shtml
One of the ideas that came of this was to make the output of 'svnlook (pl|pg)' mimic the output of 'svn (pl|pg)'. This dovetails nicely with my desire to add the ''show-inherited-props" option to svnlook (pl|pg): http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2012-11/0432.shtml The question is, how far do we go with the backwards incompatible changes to the output of svnlook (pg|pl)? Here's what we have today (skip ahead to "PROPOSED CHANGES:" if you already know all this): ### svn proplist Today: ### >svn pl A\B Properties on 'A\B': svn:auto-props svn:global-ignores >svn pl A\B -v Properties on 'A\B': svn:auto-props *.c=svn:eol-style=native *.h=svn:eol-style=native svn:global-ignores *.pyc >svn pl A\B --show-inherited-props Properties inherited from 'C:\SVN\src-trunk-2\Debug\subversion\tests\cmdline\svn-test-work\working_copies\autoprop_tests-30': svn:auto-props Properties on 'A\B': svn:auto-props svn:global-ignores >svn pl A\B --show-inherited-props -v Properties inherited from 'C:\SVN\src-trunk-2\Debug\subversion\tests\cmdline\svn-test-work\working_copies\autoprop_tests-30': svn:auto-props *.py=svn:eol-style=native *.cpp=svn:eol-style=native Properties on 'A\B': svn:auto-props *.c=svn:eol-style=native *.h=svn:eol-style=native svn:global-ignores *.pyc ### svnlook proplist Today: ### >svnlook pl autoprop_tests-30 A/B svn:global-ignores svn:auto-props >svnlook pl autoprop_tests-30 A/B -v svn:global-ignores : *.pyc svn:auto-props : *.c=svn:eol-style=native *.h=svn:eol-style=native ### svn propget Today: ### >svn pg svn:auto-props ^^/A/B *.c=svn:eol-style=native *.h=svn:eol-style=native >svn pg svn:auto-props ^^/A/B -v Properties on 'file:///C:/SVN/src-trunk-2/Debug/subversion/tests/cmdline/svn-test-work/repositories/autoprop_tests-30/A/B': svn:auto-props *.c=svn:eol-style=native *.h=svn:eol-style=native >svn pg svn:auto-props A\B --show-inherited-props . - *.py=svn:eol-style=native *.cpp=svn:eol-style=native A\B - *.c=svn:eol-style=native *.h=svn:eol-style=native >svn pg svn:auto-props A\B --show-inherited-props -v Properties inherited from '.': svn:auto-props *.py=svn:eol-style=native *.cpp=svn:eol-style=native Properties on 'A\B': svn:auto-props *.c=svn:eol-style=native *.h=svn:eol-style=native ### svnlook propget Today: ### >svnlook pg autoprop_tests-30 svn:auto-props A/B *.c=svn:eol-style=native *.h=svn:eol-style=native (svnlook pg -v is not currently supported) PROPOSED CHANGES: ### FORMAT CHANGE: 'svnlook pl' outputs results similar to 'svn pl': >svnlook pl autoprop_tests-30 A/B Properties on '/A/B': svn:auto-props svn:global-ignores ### FORMAT CHANGE: 'svnlook pl -v' outputs results like 'svn pl -v' >svnlook pl autoprop_tests-30 A/B -v Properties on '/A/B': svn:auto-props *.c=svn:eol-style=native *.h=svn:eol-style=native svn:global-ignores *.pyc ### NEW OPTION: Add support for 'svnlook pl --show-inherited-props' with output similar to 'svn pl --show-inherited-props': >svnlook pl autoprop_tests-30 A/B --show-inherited-props Properties inherited from '/': svn:auto-props Properties on '/A/B': svn:auto-props svn:global-ignores ### NEW OPTION: As above, but with -v: >svnlook pl autoprop_tests-30 A/B --show-inherited-props -v Properties inherited from '/': svn:global-ignores *.pyc Properties on '/A/B': svn:auto-props *.c=svn:eol-style=native *.h=svn:eol-style=native Properties on '/A/B': svn:auto-props *.c=svn:eol-style=native *.h=svn:eol-style=native ### NO CHANGE: 'svnlook pg' stays the same: >svnlook pg autoprop_tests-30 svn:auto-props A/B *.c=svn:eol-style=native *.h=svn:eol-style=native ### NEW OPTION: Add support for 'svnlook pg -v' with output similar to 'svn pg -v': >svnlook pg autoprop_tests-30 svn:auto-props A/B -v Properties on '/A/B': svn:auto-props *.c=svn:eol-style=native *.h=svn:eol-style=native ### NEW OPTION: Add support for 'svnlook pg --show-inherited-props' with output similar to 'svn pg --show-inherited-props': >svnlook pg autoprop_tests-30 svn:auto-props A/B --show-inherited-props . - *.py=svn:eol-style=native *.cpp=svn:eol-style=native A\B - *.c=svn:eol-style=native *.h=svn:eol-style=native ### As above, but with new -v option: svnlook pg autoprop_tests-30 svn:auto-props A/B --show-inherited-props -v Properties inherited from '/': svn:auto-props *.py=svn:eol-style=native *.cpp=svn:eol-style=native Properties on '/A/B': svn:auto-props *.c=svn:eol-style=native *.h=svn:eol-style=native So the only backwards incompatible changes we'd be making compared to 1.7 are for 'svnlook pl' and 'svnlook pl -v', everything else proposed above is the result of a new option.
