Handle it as a special case in the argument handling phase for "svn

svn:executable is a Subversion owned property.
I don't suppose you'll fall for that though.
Alternatively, "svn +x <WCTarget>"/"svn -x <WCTarget>" would also do the

If the interface gets awkward, it usually means you need to examine if
you're using the wrong interface. ;)
