The "InheritedProperties" page has been changed by pburba: http://wiki.apache.org/subversion/InheritedProperties?action=diff&rev1=45&rev2=46 Comment: Add a blurb on externals. In what I suggest, a child path base node would inherit from its repository parent, no matter whether that is the same as its its WC parent base node, because that maintains consistency, guaranteeing that particular node has the same set of properties no matter when and where you find it. As for the WC actual tree, our ideas are different but similar, but never mind that until we're clear on the basics. }}} - '''''### TBD: Externals: Do they work like switched subtrees?''''' - === Inherited Properties Cache === A child path that inherits a property from its parent may not have ready access to that parent in the working copy (e.g. the root of the working copy is a subtree of the parent path). To ensure that traditionally disconnected operations (i.e. those that require no access to the repository, like 'svn add') remain disconnected, we will maintain a cache of properties inherited by the root of the working copy. Whenever a new working copy is checked out, any properties inherited by the root of the working copy will be cached in the working copy. If a subtree within a working copy is switched, a separate cache will be created for the root of that subtree. Whenever an update occurs the cache(s) will be refreshed. The cache will be stored in a new wc-ng table: - ||||||||||<tablewidth="978px" tableheight="324px"style="font-weight:bold; ;text-align:center">TABLE: INHERITABLE_PROPS || + ||||||||||<tablewidth="978px" tableheight="324px"style="font-weight:bold; ;text-align:center">TABLE: INHERITABLE_PROPS || ||<style="font-weight:bold;">Name ||<style="font-weight:bold;">Data Type ||<style="font-weight:bold;">Primary Key ||<style="font-weight:bold;">Foreign Key ||<style="font-weight:bold;">Notes || ||wc_id ||integer ||Yes ||References NODES.WC_ID || || ||local_relpath ||text ||Yes ||References NODES.LOCAL_RELPATH || || @@ -109, +107 @@ + + === Externals === + Directory externals are treated as self-contained working copies with their own inherited properties cache. File externals, despite not being their own WC, are also treated as WC roots and get their own cache. The end result: Property inheritance '''never '''crosses external boundaries in the WC. === Authentication === The svn:mergeinfo property can be inherited by any child path the user has read access to, even if the user has no access to the parent path the svn:mergeinfo property is explicitly set on. Generic property inheritance is more restrictive:
