all redundant SVN props removed from all branches in r1829788
FTR: Personally I see quite a difference between modifying/correcting
project-wide SVN properties and modifying content/properties which one
would consider being an inherent (logical) part of a tag. But I
obviously this is not a non-controversial matter so I'm certainly fine
with leaving this for tags as they are, of course. :-)
