Meta-data Properties

A new feature of Subversion is that you can attach arbitrary metadata to files and directories. We refer to this data as properties, and they can be thought of as collections of arbitrary name/value pairs attached to each item in your working copy.

To set or get a property name, use the svn propset and svn propget subcommands. To list all properties on an object, use svn proplist.
