I'd answer "As written, yes" since the props parameter is an apr_hash_t
(and the docstring doesn't make special arrangements for representation
of propdels within that).

For example, 'svn propset pn pv URL' does not know the remaining
properties of URL.

That said: isn't this discussion similar to the discussion from last
week about whether svn_editor_set_text() should be taking a full
contents stream or a delta stream? Does the resolution of that
discusion apply here?
