That allows the client to receive the property from the server. The client doesn't allow me to manipulate the property and is not capable to sending it back to the server. If I use sqlite3 to effect a local property change the client attempts to send the unescaped name to the server: <D:set><D:prop><C:p<>p >v2v2</C:p<>p></D:prop></D:set> -- uberSVN: Apache Subversion Made Easy http://www.uberSVN.com
