Should auto-props svn:need-lock be used for some file types?
Looking at http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/BoostSubversion MIME Types and End-Of-Line Styles, I realized that svn:need-lock wasn't used at all. I've read http://blogs.open.collab.net/svn/2007/07/from-the-questi.html but am not sure if I think it should be used anywhere anyway. What is the reason for Boost not to use svn:need-lock for eg image files? /$

We don't tend to do anything very interesting with image files (they are updated very rarely), so we never considered requiring locking for these files. - Doug

FYI the mime types on that wiki for a vc++ .sln is incorrectly listed as text/xml, and .vcproj doesn't need to be CRLF. -- Cory Nelson
