No revprops are ever required to exist. No 3rd-party program should
ever assume that 'svn:date', 'svn:author', or 'svn:log' exist; it's
not an error for any of them to not exist. svn:author only exists if
the commit was authenticated; svn:log only exists if someone typed a
message; and even though svn:date is added by the repository at
commit-time, a committer might have used 'svn propchange' to simply
remove it. These are all legitimate situations.
