svnwrap: use decorator syntax for properties.
The original reason not to use property syntax was that it didn't work
with Python 2.3. Mercurial dropped support for it more than a year
ago...
No functionality change.

.. -*-restructuredtext-*- ============ hgsubversion ============ hgsubversion is an extension for Mercurial that allows using Mercurial as a Subversion client. At this point, hgsubversion is usable by users reasonably familiar with Mercurial as a VCS. It's not recommended to dive into hgsubversion as an introduction to Mercurial, since hgsubversion "bends the rules" a little and violates some of the typical assumptions of early Mercurial users. Installation ------------ You need to have Subversion installed with the SWIG Python bindings from Subversion 1.5 or later. You need Mercurial 1.3 or later. .. _mercurial: http://selenic.com/repo/hg .. _mercurial-stable: http://selenic.com/repo/hg-stable .. _crew: http://hg.intevation.org/mercurial/crew .. _crew-stable: http://hg.intevation.org/mercurial/crew-stable If you are unfamiliar with installing Mercurial extensions, please see the UsingExtensions_ page in the Mercurial wiki. Look at the example for specifying an absolute path near the bottom of the page. You want to give the path to the top level of your clone of this repository. .. _UsingExtensions: http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/UsingExtensions Before using hgsubversion, I *strongly* encourage you to run the automated tests. Just use nose_ if you have it (or ``easy_install nose`` if you want it), or use ``python tests/run.py`` to run the suite with the conventional test runner. Note that because I use nose, there's a lot of stdout spew in the tests right now. The important part is that all the tests pass. .. _nose: http://code.google.com/p/python-nose/ Further Reading --------------- More information on how to use hgsubversion is available from within Mercurial in the `subversion` help topic. To view it, use:: $ hg help subversion The Restructured Text source for this topic is also available in the file ``hgsubverson/help/subversion.rst``.
