Okay. Perhaps this could have been called out more explicitly in the
log message --- i.e., have it say not only *what* the patch does, but
also *why* it does that.

Okay. I started a patch in that way at a time; I've touched it up now
a tiny bit and I'm attaching it. Let me know what you think...

(I've tested it when applied on top of your patch 3/3.)

Yes, it would.

Yup, I've noticed this in the verbose test output I've pasted
elsethread, but you beat me to replying with the correction :)

First of all, agreed that this is small change; I think it's more
important to be able to promise that the error situation will be
/recognizable/ then whether the recognition will be with or without
svn_error_has_cause().

For reference, this is the error chain currently (with your patch 3/3):

[[[
subversion/tests/cmdline/atomic-ra-revprop-change.c:156: (apr_err=175002)
subversion/libsvn_ra_neon/fetch.c:1210: (apr_err=175002)
atomic-ra-revprop-change: DAV request failed; it's possible that the repository's pre-revprop-change hook either failed or is
+non-existent
subversion/libsvn_ra_neon/props.c:1231: (apr_err=175008)
atomic-ra-revprop-change: At least one property change failed; repository is unchanged
subversion/libsvn_ra_neon/util.c:1550: (apr_err=125014)
subversion/libsvn_ra_neon/util.c:236: (apr_err=125014)
atomic-ra-revprop-change: Error setting property 'flower':
revprop 'flower' has unexpected value in filesystem
