Having the server not return the full list of live properties would be
incompatible. Updating the client wouldn't be incompatible. But,
fetching just those two liveprops we need on every request would be
ridiculously inefficient and very likely not worth it. (We'd have to
do two PROPFINDs in order to get a single file because allprop doesn't
do what 2513 says any more. Ugh.)

However, this isn't a bug in SVN - mod_dav intentionally gives out all
liveprops on allprops. So, httpd would need to be fixed not
Subversion - as there's nothing Subversion can do. -- justin
