Yes, I think this is a hole in our functionality. But then again, you
have no way to cat the text of a specific revision of a file either. ;-)

Eric Gillespie and I have talked about this problem at length on irc.
The problem is that our current 'svn propget -r' syntax actually
*seems* like it ought to fetch a property from a particular revision
of a file.... but it does something totally weird instead.

I think we need to come up with a new interface for accessing
unversioned revprops, and make the current interface do what we
expect.
