Hi Daniel. Can I ask: Why?

This makes 'propget --revprop' inconsistent with 'propget [versioned prop]' which still prints nothing. Did you intend to change both forms, for consistency with 'svnlook'?

Previously, 'svn propget' would print nothing for a nonexistent prop (either versioned or revprop), while 'svnlook propget' would issue an error for a non-existent prop (either versioned or revprop), which was a bit more consistent than what we now have.
