Of course we have APIs for changing revision props on a transaction.
Can 'svnadmin' do it? Not at all, other than the 'svnadmin setlog'
commmand. But do we have APIs? Of course!
Just use svn_fs.h. Call svn_fs_open_txn(), followed by
svn_fs_change_txn_prop(). Write a C program, or do it in Perl or
Python. Whatever you want.
