Wasn't it like that before?..or perhaps I don't fully understand this
sentence.

At the cost of performance...in group_props you're checking the 'xml'
boolean in a loop. I also happen to think the code was more extensible with
two iteration function...but I guess this is your call as a maintainer.

Wouldn't it be the url to the repository... I think that's hardly
irrelevant. 'svn ls --xml' prints the url to the repository.

Say property-inheritance is implemented sometime in the near future...
<property>
 <value></value>
 <parent>something meaningful here</parent>
</property>

I haven't worked on it in days. I'd be happy to do some more, but feel
pretty strong about the previous two items, so maybe when they're resolved.

I looked through the patch for style issues; alas, I found none.
