The problem is that libsvn_ra_dav doesn't fetch just a single revprop
when you do a revprop fetch, it's fetching all the revprops, and then
filtering them. The underlying reason for this is kind of stupid,
it's because of the way DAV makes you send property names, the rules
for XML attributes, and what happens if a property name as a : in it.
I imagine that calculating all the props is taking a long time on
those kind of revisions.
This is definately a bug, if you could file it (with a pointer to this
thread) I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
