I can't reproduce the problem with file:/// access either. But I *can*
reproduce this against a https:// repository served with svn 1.4.6.
Repository hosted on Apache 2.0 on Vista Ultimate (don't know if that
makes a difference though).

All my pre-revprop-change.bat script does is:

echo "Changing revision properties prohibited" >&2
exit 1

doing an
svn propdel svn:log https://192.168.2.5/svn/test/trunk --revprop -r HEAD
with svn.exe 1.5.0 returns:
property 'svn:log' deleted from repository revision 13

but the revprop was *not* deleted.
