## Name

svn propedit (pedit, pe) — Edit the property of one or more items under version control. See svn propset (pset, ps) later in this chapter.

## Synopsis

`svn propedit PROPNAME TARGET...`

`svn propedit PROPNAME --revprop -r REV [TARGET]`

## Description

Edit one or more properties using your favorite editor. The first form edits versioned properties in your working copy, and the second edits unversioned remote properties on a repository revision (`TARGET` determines only which repository to access).

## Options

    --editor-cmd CMD
    --encoding ENC
    --file (-F) FILENAME
    --force
    --force-log
    --message (-m) MESSAGE
    --revision (-r) REV
    --revprop
    --with-revprop ARG

## 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'
    $
