Properties (1/3)

SVN even keeps metadata under revision control
This is enabled by “properties”, which are simply key/value pairs
svn propset <property> <value> <path>
For example, to set the copyright on all files in the trunk: cd trunk/ svn propset copyright \ 'Copyright (c) 2005 and onwards,'\ ' Josh Glover <jmglov@jmglov.net>' \ -R ./ svn commit -m 'set copyright'
