Examples

svn propedit makes it easy to modify properties that have multiple values:

$ svn propedit svn:keywords foo.c 
 # svn will open in your favorite text editor a temporary file
 # containing the current contents of the svn:keywords property. You
 # can add multiple values to a property easily here by entering one
 # value per line. When you save the temporary file and exit,
 # Subversion will re-read the temporary file and use its updated
 # contents as the new value of the property.
Set new value for property 'svn:keywords' on 'foo.c'
