This seems like an oversight. $ git help svn ... proplist Lists the properties stored in the Subversion repository about a given file or directory. Use -r/--revision to refer to a specific Subversion revision. propget Gets the Subversion property given as the first argument, for a file. A specific revision can be specified with -r/--revision. ... Interestingly, the generic `git svn` help does mention `propset`. $ git svn ... propget Print the value of a property on a file or directory --revision, -r proplist List all properties of a file or directory --revision, -r propset Set the value of a property on a file or directory - will be set on commit ... It seems Documentation/git-svn.txt is missing text for `propset`. - Joe ``` ## Eric Wong, 2016-06-07 20:08 Subject: Re: `git help svn` missing description of `propset` Message-ID: <20160607200828.GA29701@dcvr.yhbt.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20160607200828.GA29701%40dcvr.yhbt.net In-Reply-To: <2A4EC08B-3095-4063-BDF3-5B1CD1CEA2C3@apple.com> ``` +Cc Alfred, David Joseph Pecoraro wrote: > `git help svn` does not mention `propset` but it does mention `proplist` and `propget`.

Thanks Joseph, indeed it is missing from the manpage. Alfred / David: either of you have a few cycles to spare to write a manpage entry for this feature you worked on? If not, let us know, too, so others can work on it. Thanks. ``` ## Alfred Perlstein, 2016-06-08 23:54 Subject: Re: `git help svn` missing description of `propset` Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/a87422f0-0717-1e1b-5bae-c4e779783b6a%40freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <20160607200828.GA29701@dcvr.yhbt.net> ``` Eric, Would love to contribute more to git! I'm in the middle of a major product launch, so I can do this next week. Of course no hard feelings will be had if someone else wants to do it. I'm making myself a calendar invite to remind myself right now. I'll ping y'all in a week hopefully with a patch. thank you, -Alfred On 6/7/16 1:08 PM, Eric Wong wrote: > +Cc Alfred, David > > Joseph Pecoraro wrote: >> `git help svn` does not mention `propset` but it does mention `proplist` and `propget`.
