However, that property can be multi-line. I've not had any success in setting this property because git svn doesn't seem to handle the newlines. Is it possible to set multi-line SVN properties somehow? Or could this be a future enhancement? -- Craig McQueen ``` ## Eric Wong, 2017-03-23 03:01 Subject: Re: git svn propset and multi-line svn:externals property Message-ID: <20170323030141.GB14619@starla> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20170323030141.GB14619%40starla In-Reply-To: <5500469A22567C4BAF673A6E86AFA3A40295E65B42D3@IR-CENTRAL.corp.innerrange.com> ``` Craig McQueen wrote: > Is it possible to set multi-line SVN properties somehow?
