While reviewing Philip Martin's recent patch to svn_client_propget(),
I got a closer look at some of our recent property changes. The doc
string for svn_client_propget() left me a little lost as to the
precise form of the return-by-reference.
Eventually I was able to determine that it's using
`apr_table_entry_t'. But that's bad: it forces the property value to
be a `char *', meaning no prop values with nulls in them. We decided
long ago that property *names* didn't have to support binary strings,
but property values are Anything Goes.
Kevin Pilch-Bisson, I think this was your commit 290? Can you fix it
please? Suggest returning them in a hash, where the keys are `char *'
propnames and the values are `svn_string_t *'.
Thanks,

/* Returns an apr_table_t of filenames and property values, in *PROPS,

be only a single element, with key TARGET, and value the value of PROPNAME
in TARGET. If recurse is true and TARGET is a directory, the *PROPS will
contain a list of node names and property values for TARGET and all of
its children. The nodenames will be of rooted from the same place as
TARGET. */
