Yup. You need to be logged in as an Observer on
subversion.tigris.org, which if you don't have that role already will
(unfortunately) require you requesting it and then someone approving
you. But that usually happens pretty quickly.

I don't see why the revprops would need to be stored in .svn/ at any
point...

Yes.

Well, Subversion already has the 'svn propset --revprop'
functionality. This would just be another pathway to that same
ability.
