On the other hand, I'd argue that the behaviour as described is a bug and that 1 is actually correct: an identical rule (identical glob pattern) in svn:auto-props property should completely override the rule from an inherited svn:auto-props property. Anything else leads to madness, as this thread shows. I wouldn't worry about backwards-compatibility in this case, for the simple reason that cases where things brake should be quite rare. Witness that this is the first bug report on this topic (that I know of). Furthermore, it's relatively easy to fix any cases that happened to rely on this buggy behaviour. I'd even say that the whole property value should override any inherited ones ... but that would be harder to justify, given current behaviour. -- Brane
