#399 Displaying or not displaying svn property changes in the web interface?

[Edward d'Auvergne]

For subversion repositories, the web interface for displaying a commit is not handling subversion properties very well. If this SCM-only metadata is changed, i.e. the file contents are not touched, the web interface will nevertheless show the affected file as a diff, or display two copies of the same file. For example this clean up commit for the new FlightGear project might be one of the largest you will see at SourceForge:

https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/fgaddon/583

This removes the svn:mime-type property from 23351 files (this was required as a large number of XML, SVG and other text files were being accientally treated as binary). For the web interface, maybe it is better not to display files in which only the subversion properties have changed? Or to introduce a new category for this on top of 'changed', 'added', and 'removed'.

Cheers,

Edward
