Finding all directories in a repository with svn property: svn-ignore

While I started rewriting my python parsing, I realized a much better way to do what you asked (I parsed names and dates of submission to calculate weekend/weekday submission ratios to see who had no life!)

Check out the repo, then go to it and execute:

svn log | grep '^r[0-9]' | awk '{print $3}' | sort | uniq

That gets a list of all the changes that have been commited, greps for the lines that start with the revision and number (r[12341] | author | date-and-stuff... ), prints out the third field (author), sorts the authors and gets rid of duplicates.

svn propset svn:externals "$(svn propget svn:externals . -r HEAD)" .

this sets the property to the HEAD value. This is a valid workaround since revert can only be applied to all properties, and doesn't exist for individual properties.
