I'm doing the same thing with a shell script wrapping svn (using a
slightly different property since I didn't feel I could usurp the svn:
prefix). Your changes look a lot more, uh, robust. I also save and
restore type and creator in properties, but none of the Finder flags.

But going forward, I think Subversion's lack of support for opaque
collections (*duck*) will be a bigger problem on OS X. It's been on
my long-term list to do something about this, but I doubt it will
happen any time soon.
