(1) You don't seem to have provided a way to override an iprop value
with no value, only with a different value.
(2) This in-filesystem notion of iprops seems to create a number of
problems, as you've mentioned. I'll suggest a poor-man's alternative,
which is to take the notion of auto-props and move it from the client
config file to an svn: property contained on directories. (The
auto-props property would itself be copied verbatim to newly created
subdirectories, so that it can apply to a whole tree of new files.)
What you wouldn't get is the ability to efficiently change an inherited
property on a whole subtree by changing it at the root of the tree. But
I don't know if that's really needed.
