Hi Bert,

I traced this regression back to your change in r1124782:

base_props set to null...

but we no longer populate base_props...

So base_props is unconditionally an empty hash. Which causes the
segfault when close_file calls svn_wc__merge_props with an empty hash
as the PRISTINE_PROPS argument. svn_wc__merge_props has a prop
deletion, but the empty hash makes it think it has a prop addition:

[[[
svn_error_t *
svn_wc__merge_props(svn_skel_t **work_items,
                    svn_wc_notify_state_t *state,
                    apr_hash_t **new_pristine_props,
                    apr_hash_t **new_actual_props,
                    svn_wc__db_t *db,
                    const char *local_abspath,
                    svn_kind_t kind,
                    const svn_wc_conflict_version_t *left_version,
                    const svn_wc_conflict_version_t *right_version,
                    apr_hash_t *server_baseprops,
                    apr_hash_t *pristine_props,
                    apr_hash_t *actual_props,
                    const apr_array_header_t *propchanges,
                    svn_boolean_t base_merge,
                    svn_boolean_t dry_run,
                    svn_wc_conflict_resolver_func2_t conflict_func,
                    void *conflict_baton,
                    svn_cancel_func_t cancel_func,
                    void *cancel_baton,
                    apr_pool_t *result_pool,
                    apr_pool_t *scratch_pool)
{

<snip>

  if (!server_baseprops)
    server_baseprops = pristine_props;

<snip>

  /* Looping over the array of incoming propchanges we want to apply: */
  iterpool = svn_pool_create(scratch_pool);
  for (i = 0; i < propchanges->nelts; i++)
    {

<snip>

      to_val = incoming_change->value
        ? svn_string_dup(incoming_change->value, result_pool) : NULL;
      from_val = apr_hash_get(server_baseprops, propname, APR_HASH_KEY_STRING);
      base_val = apr_hash_get(pristine_props, propname, APR_HASH_KEY_STRING);

<snip>

      if (! from_val) /* adding a new property */
        SVN_ERR(apply_single_prop_add(state, &conflict_remains,
                                      db, local_abspath,
                                      left_version, right_version,
                                      is_dir, actual_props,
                                      propname, base_val, to_val,
### ^^^^
### This is obviously going to blow up since to_val is null!

                                      conflict_func, conflict_baton,
                                      dry_run, result_pool, iterpool));
]]]

So it seems we need to put
subversion/libsvn_wc/wc_db.c:svn_wc__db_external_read_pristine_props()
back. Does that seem right to you, or is there a better way?
