to give values for lots of files in the tree. And to update that
<br>property. Tracking stuff like this in a per-file method like SVN means<br>that you need to remember to set them for any new file. One of my<br>biggest beefs is that svn:ignore doesn't have a way to make it<br>recursive, so adding a new sub-project tends to add all the things that
<br>you just asked it to ignore in the other project.</blockquote></span><div><br>Yes. I really like centralized configurations. I really do :-)</div></div></blockquote><div><br>Let's assume there is only a central configuration file and no individual file properties
<br>like CVS or SVN have.<br><br>What happens to a file that is moved or renamed? What if i configured to<br>handle xml files in 'configuration' directories different than other xml files, and<br>then rename the 'configuration' directory to 'config', forgetting to also change the
<br>central .bzrtypes file. Not a good idea at all!<br><br>So that seems to be the reason why CVS is using special file attributes, but<br>has also a central file describing the default attributes for new files.<br><br> </div>
