The example above sets a "revprop" (unversioned property), then
tries to retrieve a regular property.

It's also worth noting that unversioned properties apply to the
entire revision, regardless of which file you specify. In your
example above, "toto0.txt" is effectively ignored.

I figure that you probably don't need to indicate that an
entire transaction (r0) is "LockedBy" anthony, so you probably
don't need to use a revprop.

Try the following:

$ svn propset LockedBy anthony toto0.txt
$ svn propget LockedBy toto0.txt
$ svn commit
$ svn proplist -v toto0.txt

Or for a revprop:

$ svn propset --revprop -r 0 LockedBy anthony
$ svn propget --revprop -r 0 LockedBy
$ svn proplist --revprop -r 0 -v
