But not by default. Changing revprops has to be explicitly enabled by the repository administrator. To do this, the server admin has to explicitly create a "pre-revprop-change" hook, and set it to allow the changes. Many "pre-revprop-change" scripts will disallow changes to "svn:date" and "svn:author", although they might allow other revprops such as "svn:log" to be edited. http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.ref.reposhooks.pre-revprop-ch ange.html Kind regards, Jon ********************************************************************** This email and its attachments may be confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
