        A write_hash_to_stringbuf helper does the work of
        converting the property hashtable to dumpfile format.

This function looks like:

        void write_hash_to_stringbuf(...
        {
                if (!deleted) {
                        for (each prop) {
                                append the new value of the prop;
                        }
                } else {
                        for (each prop) {
                                mention that it has been deleted;
                        }
                }
        }

It would be simpler to put the body of the loop in its own function,
like this:

        static void write_prop_to_stringbuf(...
        {
                if (deleted) {
                        append deletion notice;
                        return;
                }
                append new value of prop;
        }

        void write_hash_to_stringbuf(...
        {
                for (each prop)
                        write_prop_to_stringbuf(...
        }

Or even:

        static void write_prop(...
        static void write_deleted_prop(...

        void write_prop_data_to_stringbuf(...
        {
                for (each prop)
                        write_prop(...
        }
        void write_deleted_prop_data_to_stringbuf(...
        {
                for (each prop)
                        write_deleted_prop(...
        }

which would make the arguments from the caller less opaque.

I did not check whether the "return early in the simpler case" is
idiomatic for svn code. Of course you should respect whatever
convention is prevalent.

Is the cast needed? (The answer might be "yes" if this code is meant
to be usable with C++ compilers.)

Style: better to say in comments what we are trying to do than what we
actually do. So:

        /* First, dump revision properties. */

Maybe dumping revision properties should be its own function to make
that comment unnecessary (and make replay_revstart() less daunting as
it grows).

Useless comment.

Unhelpful comment. Maybe:

        /* Revision-number: 19 */
        SVN_ERR(svn_stream_printf(stdout_stream, pool,
                                  SVN_REPOS_DUMPFILE_REVISION_NUMBER
                                  ": %ld\n", revision));

        write_hash_to_stringbuf(rev_props, FALSE, &propstring, pool);
        svn_stringbuf_appendbytes(propstring, "PROPS-END\n", 10);

        /* Prop-content-length: 13 */
        SVN_ERR(svn_stream_printf(stdout_stream, pool,
                                  SVN_REPOS_DUMPFILE_PROP_CONTENT_LENGTH
                                  ": %" APR_SIZE_T_FMT "\n", propstring->len));
        ...

This would make it particularly easy to grep for a particular header
(even if grepping for SVN_REPOS_DUMPFILE_PROP_CONTENT_LENGTH is not
that hard).

Maybe:

        /* Property data. */
        SVN_ERR(svn_stream_write(stdout_stream, propstring->data,
                                 &(propstring->len)));

The whole function so far has been about printing revprops.

This does not actually fclose(stdout), does it?

I’d leave out the comment, or:
