Detailed Description

Properties.

Note that certain svn-controlled properties must always have their values set and stored in UTF8 with LF line endings. When retrieving these properties, callers must convert the values back to native locale and native line-endings before displaying them to the user. For help with this task, see svn_prop_needs_translation(), svn_subst_translate_string(), and svn_subst_detranslate_string().

	)

Set *props to a hash table whose keys are absolute paths or URLs of items on which property propname is explicitly set, and whose values are svn_string_t * representing the property value for propname at that path.

If inherited_props is not NULL, then set *inherited_props to a depth-first ordered array of svn_prop_inherited_item_t * structures representing the properties inherited by target. If target is a working copy path, then properties inherited by target as far as the root of the working copy are obtained from the working copy's actual property values. Properties inherited from above the working copy root come from the inherited properties cache. If target is a URL, then the inherited properties come from the repository. If inherited_props is not NULL and no inheritable properties are found, then set *inherited_props to an empty array.

The svn_prop_inherited_item_t->path_or_url members of the svn_prop_inherited_item_t * structures in *inherited_props are URLs if target is a URL or if target is a working copy path but the property represented by the structure is above the working copy root (i.e. the inherited property is from the cache). In all other cases the svn_prop_inherited_item_t->path_or_url members are absolute working copy paths.

Allocate *props (including keys and values) and *inherited_props (including its elements) in result_pool, use scratch_pool for temporary allocations.

target is a WC absolute path or a URL.

Don't store any path, not even target, if it does not have a property named propname.

If revision->kind is svn_opt_revision_unspecified, then: get properties from the working copy if target is a working copy path, or from the repository head if target is a URL. Else get the properties as of revision. The actual node revision selected is determined by the path as it exists in peg_revision. If peg_revision->kind is svn_opt_revision_unspecified, then it defaults to svn_opt_revision_head for URLs or svn_opt_revision_working for WC targets. Use the authentication baton in ctx for authentication if contacting the repository. If actual_revnum is not NULL, the actual revision number used for the fetch is stored in *actual_revnum.

If depth is svn_depth_empty, fetch the property from target only; if svn_depth_files, fetch from target and its file children (if any); if svn_depth_immediates, from target and all of its immediate children (both files and directories); if svn_depth_infinity, from target and everything beneath it.

changelists is an array of const char * changelist names, used as a restrictive filter on items whose properties are gotten; that is, don't get propname on any item unless it's a member of one of those changelists. If changelists is empty (or altogether NULL), no changelist filtering occurs.

If error, don't touch *props, otherwise *props is a hash table even if empty.

This function returns SVN_ERR_UNVERSIONED_RESOURCE when it is called on unversioned nodes.

	)

Invoke receiver with receiver_baton to return the regular explicit, and possibly the inherited, properties of target, a URL or working copy path.

receiver will be called for each path encountered.

target is a WC path or a URL.

If revision->kind is svn_opt_revision_unspecified, then get the explicit (and possibly the inherited) properties from the working copy, if target is a working copy path, or from the repository head if target is a URL. Else get the properties as of revision. The actual node revision selected is determined by the path as it exists in peg_revision. If peg_revision->kind is svn_opt_revision_unspecified, then it defaults to svn_opt_revision_head for URLs or svn_opt_revision_working for WC targets. Use the authentication baton cached in ctx for authentication if contacting the repository.

If depth is svn_depth_empty, list only the properties of target itself. If depth is svn_depth_files, and target is a directory, list the properties of target and its file entries. If svn_depth_immediates, list the properties of its immediate file and directory entries. If svn_depth_infinity, list the properties of its file entries and recurse (with svn_depth_infinity) on directory entries. svn_depth_unknown is equivalent to svn_depth_empty. All other values produce undefined results.

changelists is an array of const char * changelist names, used as a restrictive filter on items whose properties are listed; that is, don't list properties on any item unless it's a member of one of those changelists. If changelists is empty (or altogether NULL), no changelist filtering occurs.

If get_target_inherited_props is true, then also return any inherited properties when receiver is called for target. If target is a working copy path, then properties inherited by target as far as the root of the working copy are obtained from the working copy's actual property values. Properties inherited from above the working copy root come from the inherited properties cache. If target is a URL, then the inherited properties come from the repository. If get_target_inherited_props is false, then no inherited properties are returned to receiver.

If target is not found, return the error SVN_ERR_ENTRY_NOT_FOUND.

		svn_boolean_t	skip_checks,
		const apr_array_header_t *	changelists,
		svn_client_ctx_t *	ctx,
		apr_pool_t *	scratch_pool
	)

Set propname to propval on each (const char *) target in targets.

The targets must be all working copy paths. A propval of NULL will delete the property.

If depth is svn_depth_empty, set the property on each member of targets only; if svn_depth_files, set it on targets and their file children (if any); if svn_depth_immediates, on targets and all of their immediate children (both files and directories); if svn_depth_infinity, on targets and everything beneath them.

changelists is an array of const char * changelist names, used as a restrictive filter on items whose properties are set; that is, don't set properties on any item unless it's a member of one of those changelists. If changelists is empty (or altogether NULL), no changelist filtering occurs.

If propname is an svn-controlled property (i.e. prefixed with SVN_PROP_PREFIX), then the caller is responsible for ensuring that the value is UTF8-encoded and uses LF line-endings.

If skip_checks is TRUE, do no validity checking. But if skip_checks is FALSE, and propname is not a valid property for targets, return an error, either SVN_ERR_ILLEGAL_TARGET (if the property is not appropriate for targets), or SVN_ERR_BAD_MIME_TYPE (if propname is "svn:mime-type", but propval is not a valid mime-type).

If ctx->cancel_func is non-NULL, invoke it passing ctx->cancel_baton at various places during the operation.

Use scratch_pool for all memory allocation.

New in 1.7.

svn_client_propset_remote()

svn_error_t* svn_client_propset_remote	(	const char *	propname,

		svn_commit_callback2_t	commit_callback,
		void *	commit_baton,
		svn_client_ctx_t *	ctx,
		apr_pool_t *	scratch_pool
	)

Set propname to propval on url.

A propval of NULL will delete the property.

Immediately attempt to commit the property change in the repository, using the authentication baton in ctx and ctx->log_msg_func3/ctx->log_msg_baton3.

If the property has changed on url since revision base_revision_for_url (which must not be SVN_INVALID_REVNUM), no change will be made and an error will be returned.

If non-NULL, revprop_table is a hash table holding additional, custom revision properties (const char * names mapped to svn_string_t * values) to be set on the new revision. This table cannot contain any standard Subversion properties.

If commit_callback is non-NULL, then call commit_callback with commit_baton and a svn_commit_info_t for the commit.

If propname is an svn-controlled property (i.e. prefixed with SVN_PROP_PREFIX), then the caller is responsible for ensuring that the value is UTF8-encoded and uses LF line-endings.

If skip_checks is TRUE, do no validity checking. But if skip_checks is FALSE, and propname is not a valid property for url, return an error, either SVN_ERR_ILLEGAL_TARGET (if the property is not appropriate for url), or * SVN_ERR_BAD_MIME_TYPE (if propname is "svn:mime-type", but propval is not a valid mime-type).

Use scratch_pool for all memory allocation.

		const svn_opt_revision_t *	revision,
		svn_revnum_t *	set_rev,
		svn_client_ctx_t *	ctx,
		apr_pool_t *	pool
	)

Set *propval to the value of propname on revision revision in the repository represented by URL.

Use the authentication baton in ctx for authentication, and pool for all memory allocation. Return the actual rev queried in *set_rev.

If propname does not exist on revision, set *propval to NULL.

Note that unlike its cousin svn_client_propget(), this routine doesn't affect the working copy at all; it's a pure network operation that queries an unversioned property attached to a revision. This can query log messages, dates, authors, and the like.

svn_client_revprop_list()

svn_error_t* svn_client_revprop_list	(	apr_hash_t **	props,

		const svn_opt_revision_t *	revision,
		svn_revnum_t *	set_rev,
		svn_client_ctx_t *	ctx,
		apr_pool_t *	pool
	)

Set *props to a hash of the revision props attached to revision in the repository represented by URL.

Use the authentication baton cached in ctx for authentication, and pool for all memory allocation. Return the actual rev queried in *set_rev.

The allocated hash maps (const char *) property names to (svn_string_t *) property values.

Note that unlike its cousin svn_client_proplist(), this routine doesn't read a working copy at all; it's a pure network operation that reads unversioned properties attached to a revision.

	)

Set propname to propval on revision revision in the repository represented by URL.

Use the authentication baton in ctx for authentication, and pool for all memory allocation. Return the actual rev affected in *set_rev. A propval of NULL will delete the property.

If original_propval is non-NULL, then just before setting the new value, check that the old value matches original_propval; if they do not match, return the error SVN_ERR_RA_OUT_OF_DATE. This is to help clients support interactive editing of revprops: without this check, the window during which the property may change underneath the user is as wide as the amount of time the user spends editing the property. With this check, the window is reduced to a small, constant amount of time right before we set the new value. (To check that an old value is still non-existent, set original_propval->data to NULL, and original_propval->len is ignored.) If the server advertises SVN_RA_CAPABILITY_ATOMIC_REVPROPS, the check of original_propval is done atomically.

Note: the representation of "property is not set" in original_propval differs from the representation in other APIs (such as svn_fs_change_rev_prop2() and svn_ra_change_rev_prop2()).

If force is TRUE, allow newlines in the author property.

If propname is an svn-controlled property (i.e. prefixed with SVN_PROP_PREFIX), then the caller is responsible for ensuring that the value UTF8-encoded and uses LF line-endings.

Note that unlike its cousin svn_client_propset3(), this routine doesn't affect the working copy at all; it's a pure network operation that changes an unversioned property attached to a revision. This can be used to tweak log messages, dates, authors, and the like. Be careful: it's a lossy operation.

ctx->notify_func2 and ctx->notify_baton2 are the notification functions and baton which are called upon successful setting of the property.

Also note that unless the administrator creates a pre-revprop-change hook in the repository, this feature will fail.
