If I set tsvn:logminsize recursively it gets set only on folders. If I
set svn:needs-lock recursively, it gets set only on files. How does
subversion know whether to add a recursive property to all files or just
folders?

I just noticed another 'feature'. If I set a folder property
recursively, sub-folders (sometimes?) don't get a modified overlay, even
after F5, but they do show up in check for modifications.

Build 3402 on Win2K.
