With the inheritable properties work complete and merged back to trunk[1] I started work on a second branch to use inheritable properties as an alternative solution for server dictated configuration[2]. My initial goal was a subversion reserved property that would supplement the traditional config file auto-props. The brief wiki at http://wiki.apache.org/subversion/InheritableAutoProps describes the design.
While I hope to implement a similar reserved property the supplements the global-ignores configuration, the existing work on auto-props is self-contained and ready for review. The branch can be found at ^/subversion/branches/auto-props-sdc As always, any feedback, review, questions, etc. are appreciated.
