I would like to set our SVN server to enforce some file properties for commonly used files such as images and binary files as well as eol handling between client operating systems. I have fixed up one repository from the client side using working copies and the svn_apply_autoprops.py script. But it feels like I still have to make some *server side* settings that will stop new file additions to be done with incorrect properties.
I have tried looking for a manual for svn 1.9 but the only one I have found is 1.7 and there is nothing about setting up server side enforced properties. Apart from this there is only a number of webpages, which I find hard to navigate. What I have found is this: https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.8.html#repos-dictated-config https://wiki.apache.org/subversion/Inheritable-Ignores-AutoProps#Auto-Props_Hierarchy_and_Precedence But it is not clear to me HOW one can set these properties.... The system I am setting up consists of a number of VisualSVN repositories each holding a number of projects of certain types. All projects have the structure: Project |-- branches |-- tags |-- trunk How can I set the auto-props on the server itself such that when someone imports a new project the files will be assigned the necessary properties even if they have not properly set up their clients? I need some exact command descriptions if possible... PS: On the server I found a conf subdirectory in the server root and it contains a svnserve.conf file which starts out like this: ### This file controls the configuration of the svnserve daemon, if you ### use it to allow access to this repository. (If you only allow ### access through http: and/or file: URLs, then this file is ### irrelevant.) Our access method is via https: through the Apache webserver, so this conf file is apparently not useful at all... -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden
