Hi! [[[ svn:externals allows comments starting with '#' in its property value but it's not documented in 'svn help ps'. Fix that!
* subversion/svn/main.c
(svn_cl__command_table[]): add note about comments in svn:externals.
Patch by: Daniel Näslund <daniel{_AT_}longitudo.com>
]]]
The help message for svn propset makes a distinction between 1.5 and
earlier releases. I've made the note about '#' a general statement. It
was last modified in r846987 and since that was back in aug 2003 I
thought it would be safe to say it holds for all releases currently in
use. I'm assuming no one uses something pre 1.4.
But I haven't fully grasped how I can find when some feature was added
in a release. Skimmed through CHANGES but couldn't find anything about
comments in svn:externals.
I'm attaching a script for testing setting and gettting svn:externals
properties with comments.
I've run the getopt_tests.py and they pass.
