$ svn pset my-prop hi-ben foo.c
$ svn commit -m "blah"

$ svn co http://whatever/

The svn:custom: prefix is used for *user* properties.

We aren't defining the *namespace* twice. We're defining two *prefixes*,
which is perfectly legit. Different parts of the system allocate prefixes,
so we end up with a couple. mod_dav supports tighter compression, but it
would change some of our constant text (which uses S:baz) to need a variable
part, based on the prefix assigned by the dav_xmlns code.

I don't understand this part.
