I am aware that this limitation still exists. The patch only
handles concurrent transactions but does not address
the out-of-date working copy problem.

As you already figured out, there is an explicit check in
the repos layer that prevents property changes on dirs
that are not at the txn base revision, i.e. node-HEAD at the
time of the begin of that txns. The reason is that the API
does not actually have a "change prop" but only a "set
prop" function. Prop changes to the same node between
wc BASE and txn base would simply be lost.

So, we still have a theoretical scalability issue but now
it is the time a "svn up --depth=empty" at the root node
(in theory a constant value) that should be less than the
average time between commits.
