Unfortunately the implementation (libsvn_client/add.c:all_auto_props_collector()) already explicitly handles 'propname' as if it were 'propname=', i.e., sets the value to "". Since the "documentation" in the generated config file already implies that the '=' can be absend, I'd say this behaviour is pretty much set in stone. -- Brane
