----------------------------------
I think we can resolve issue in this case, since BDB is deprecated. What do you
think?
> property merging unnecessarily strict

> Issue Type: Improvement

> Reporter: Karl Fogel
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: unscheduled

> Committing a property change to a directory fails if that directory is
> out-of-date, even if it's only out-of-date due to bubble-up semantics. This
> can be a bit tiresome; from the user's point of view, why is the property
> change being prohibited? It's hard to justify.
> The shell script below demonstrates the problem.
> I think there's some reason we have this limitation -- no theoretical
> showstopper, just ease of implementation or something like that. Might be
> time to reexamine the tradeoff, though.
