At the FS level no date is just another txn prop change. > I agree this is necessary in order to correctly replicate any > arbitrary repository, even though it's unusual. > > For HTTP connections, I suppose we could require the client to send an > explicit PROPPATCH to un-set the date. Yes, that's what happens. It's already supported by the client to allow "svn commit --with-revprop" to work against old servers that don't support create-txn-with-revprops. > Is something similar possible > with svnserve? Hmm, I think that's a gap in the proposal. There is no svnserve support for svn_fs_change_txn_prop and "svn commit --with-revprop" fails with not supported against old servers. -- Philip Martin | Subversion Committer WANdisco // *Non-Stop Data*
