Hello,

I have been looking at git-svn as an alternative to Subversion. As for many people, the lack of support for Subverison properties is something of a blocker for me. Some quick thought suggests that one of the simplest ways of fixing this would be to add a couple of options to dcommit: setprop and delprop, which would add a property change changeset at the end of a commit series. setprop could take the form --setprop file:prop=value [--setprop file:prop=value] and delprop the form --delprop prop [--delprop prop], possibly allowing wildcards in file names. Obviously there would be nicer ways to support this, but no one has done them yet, and this should be reasonably simple to implement (similar to <http://www.spinics.net/lists/git/msg113263.html>), while still being an improvement over no support at all. To answer the question in <http://www.spinics.net/lists/git/msg113263.html>, I think that the advantage over using:

	svn prop(edit|set|del) ARGS $(git svn info --url)

would be the shorter time window between the property change and other relevant changes.

I would appreciate being CC-ed on any answers.
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Michael
