Package: subversion-tools
Version: 1.6.12dfsg-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Hi,

When invoked as "svn_apply_autoprops --help", svn_apply_autoprops does not
display help and exit, does not complain about unsupported commandline option
(that'd be another way to behave sane) but instead starts recursively
processing current working directory and subdirectories.  This violates the
Principle of Least Surprise.  The lack of a manpage for svn_apply_autoprops
makes it worse.

Please improve svn_apply_autoprops commandline processing.

Thanks, Bye,

Joost
