No, the versioned properties are available for single files and
directories. If a property is set on a directory it only addresses
the directory itself but not the files in it.

Revision properties are not related to any file but to the revision
itself. The check-in comment is such a property.

This is absolutely the case for normal versioned properties.

There are also some use cases of QA for which revision properties
can be usefull. If you won't rely on the check-in comment and a
path created by a tagging/branching/releasing operation you could
set a revision property like my_company:yes_this_is_really_a_new_
software_release.
