Please don't worry about implementation details at this stage. Adding a per-file attribute is easy. (It won't be like svn:log, however, because that is a revprop, as opposed to a nodeprop.) The real question is, what information you are asking to be provided. Given the standard Greek tree (see subversion/tests/README), what would be the outputs of «svn ls --xml ^/iota» and «svn ls --xml ^/A/»? Are you asking for information to be provided for plain files? For symlinks? For directories? What is the value of the new attribute in each of those cases? If it's a checksum, is it the repository-normal version or the keywords-expanded version (like ?kw=1 in mod_dav_svn, see 1.8 release notes)? Don't worry about how the information would be encoded on the wire; just about what information you would like to have on the client. Cheers, Daniel > Re the commands svn-ls and svn-info.
