I think I am going to leave it as is. I originally planned to just do an
svn propset in a post-commit hook, when I was reading the pre-commit hook
the idea of adding the properties as part of the commit just sounded
appealing. It might be nice if svn propset could operate on a txn, but
certainly something I can live without. Also, as you say, I could always
write a C program.
