all redundant SVN props removed from all branches in r1829788 FTR: Personally I see quite a difference between modifying/correcting project-wide SVN properties and modifying content/properties which one would consider being an inherent (logical) part of a tag. But I obviously this is not a non-controversial matter so I'm certainly fine with leaving this for tags as they are, of course. :-) Regards, Stefan
