I shy away from 'svn:auto-props' because eventually we'll have some sort of ignores-server-dictated-config via inheritable props and svn:ignore is already taken, so we probably want some common prefix to this class of inheritable properties. > +1. > > I don't like the term "iprop" (assuming that stands for "inheritable > property"), because as I understood it all properties are inheritable > (and it's up to the "user" of that property to decide to use it in an > inheritable manner or not). Sure, it's up to the user, caller, script, etc., but this is a reserved property that Subversion itself will always consider inheritable, so I don't believe "iprop" is misleading in any way. Regardless, I don't feel very strongly about this one way or the other. Barring any prop-"iprop" feedback I'll switch it to 'svn:config-auto-props' in the near future. -- Paul T.
