#190 Incorrect statement in svnsync command-line reference (?)

[Anonymous]

Originally created by: pavel.ly...@visualsvn.com

In the SVNBook's trunk [1] and in SVNBook 1.7 [2] I see a mistake.

This following is incorrect because "http-library=serf" has nothing to do with autoprops:

[[
For example, to temporarily disable the use of the automatic property setting feature, use --config-option=servers:global:http-library=serf.
]]

Should be:

[[
For example, to use serf network library instead of neon library, use --config-option=servers:global:http-library=serf.
]]

I suppose that the mistake occurred due to copy-paste from [3] (or some other SVNBook chapter maybe) where it says:

[[
For example, to temporarily disable the use of the automatic property setting feature, use --config-option=config:miscellany:enable-auto-props=no.
]]

Just after I submitted the issue I recalled that the neon network library is going to be "deleted" in the upcoming Apache Subversion 1.8 [1].

* So the example is not actual anymore. Is that correct?

* Does it make sense to consider changing the example in the chapter?

Eek.  There are many flavors of ickiness in the sections your pointed out!  Yes, in trunk those sections should stop calling attention to the 'http-library' option and should refer to something else.  'enable-auto-props' might not be the best choice depending on the specific context, as some binaries don't have anything to do with the auto-props (svnrdump, svnmucc, etc.).

Thanks for the report.  This will get fixed before we wrap up the 1.8 documentation (and will be back-ported to the 1.7 version, too).
