The properties were added to subversion root in r1829215-r1829221 and
dropped from trunk in r1829223.
I was actually about to remove the properties in a single commit from
all branches as well as from all tags but am unsure about whether this
would be acceptable especially for the branches (given the usual
STATUS-nomination workflow). Would anybody object to me removing the
redundant SVN props from all tags and branches in a single commit (with
the commit log message then only stating:
".: Removed redundant SVN properties"
(i.e. without explicitly listing all branches/tags which would be quite
a bunch of entries otherwise).

Stefan
