That would work, as long as SVN was doing it. I was thinking about the case
where the pre- creates a tempfile, hoping that the post- would read it.

I hope that we wouldn't have to use a tempfile, but we might have to, to
deal properly with binary properties. Some shells/scripting languages might
not deal very well with binary on stdin.
