fair enough, i noticed that.

karl f. already suggested that approach, as wide open as it is. i'll
give some thought as to how i want to handle that.

not sure what you mean by this. as a test, i added a totally
arbitrary revisioned property to a directory and i can view it with:

$ svn proplist --revprop -r HEAD -v pcore
Unversioned properties on revision 2:
  fred : barney <-- that one
  svn:log : fred
  svn:author : rpjday
  svn:date : 2005-08-10T17:54:07.596250Z

so what exactly did you mean above? seems pretty easy to see all of
the unversioned properties.
