I never doubted that fsvs was useful. I can see many advantages by using
it (not for me on Windows though).

You're assuming that those properties can only be used for backup tools?
That's not correct. Subversion doesn't have to implement the same as
fsvs - they could make use of those property names for other things.

All I'm complaining about is that fsvs uses svn: properties. The
Subversion docs clearly state that these properties are reserved and
only for use by the Subversion lib itself.
Other projects must use other property namespaces. FSVS could use fsvs:
instead of svn:, and everything would be just fine.
