I think we should provide command line support for setting txnprops. The code is simple enough, the iterface is a bit harder. There was was some debate on IRC as to whether it should be svnlook propset -t txn or svnadmin settxnprop -t txn For svnlook it means adding a write subcommand to a program that at present is read-only. If we add "-r REV" support to be consistent with other subcommands then we would then need further options to run/bypass hooks. This would then overlap with the existing "svnadmin setrevprop". For svnadmin it means that a pre-commit needs to use different programs for reading and writing txnprops rather than just using svnlook, and the name new name "settxnprop" is a different pattern from the existing "propget" name. We will probably need some way to delete txnprops as well. There is currently a new-in-1.9 "svnadmin delrevprop" to delete revision properties, so either "svnlook propdel" or "svnadmin deltxnprop". Or perhaps the new subcommand to set txnprops should allow a way to delete as well? -- Philip Martin | Subversion Committer WANdisco // *Non-Stop Data*
