Maybe I don't quite understand the problem. It sounds
like you should be able to query for the value of the
property on the HEAD version of the branch. Am I
missing something?

OTOH, from your last sentence above, and the fact that
you mentioned ClearCase in your prior email, you may
be under the impression that Subversion will have
versions under the branches like the following:
  branch/0
         1
         2

Instead, Subversion versions the /entire/ repository
so you really get something like:
  0
  1/branch1
  2/branch1
    branch2

Please excuse and correct me if I'm making incorrect
assumptions on your knowledge.

HTH,
Noel
