Set propname to propval on files, directories, or revisions. The first example creates a versioned, local property change in the working copy, and the second creates an unversioned, remote property change on a repository revision. The new property value, propval, may be provided literally, or using the -F valfile option.
Alternate names: pset, ps
Changes: working copy; repository only if operating on a URL
Accesses repository: only if operating on a URL

Examples
Set the mimetype on a file:
$ svn propset svn:mime-type image/jpeg foo.jpg
property 'svn:mime-type' set on 'foo.jpg'
On a Unix system, if you want a file to have the executable permission set:
$ svn propset svn:executable ON somescript
property 'svn:executable' set on 'somescript'
Warning
By default, you cannot modify revision properties in a Subversion repository. Your repository administrator must explicitly enable revision property modifications by creating a hook named pre-revprop-change.
