On IRC we agree that revprops.db is expected to have a row for *every*
revision less than MIN_UNPACKED_REV; that row may map the revision to an
empty proplist skel but it must exist.

We might want to tolerate missing table lines (with a warning), both in
'recover' and elsewhere in the code. Still need to investigate here.
