The default repository configuration does not allow changes to revision properties. But if the repository administrator sets up a pre-revprop-change hook script that exits zero then users with commit access are allowed to modify revision properties. In the general case, it's probably best to assume all properties are mutable. http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.ref.reposhooks.pre-revprop-change.html Thanks, Stephen
