Yes. What happens is that svn retrieves the current property value from the server, puts it in a file "/tmp/svn-prop.tmp" and runs an editor on this file. The user modifies this file and quits the editor. Then svn normally updates this property on the server (from the modified svn-prop.tmp) and removes this temporary file. The issue is that svn removes this file even when the update fails. Note: I'm using the "svn+ssh" scheme. I don't know whether this bug also occurs with the https scheme (I cannot try). The issue can be reproduced by creating a wrapper script to ssh and using SVN_SSH=/path/to/this/script svn propedit ... Before quitting the editor, change this script to "exit 1" in order to simulate a ssh failure. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
