Of course svk (or more precisely SVN:Mirror) uses / in property names
which isn't even allowed anymore in 1.1 (not sure if it worked prior to
1.1 either). You can't use svn ps to modify or set a property with a /
in it, though setting it though the perl-swig bindings does work since
that's what SVN:Mirror does.
