Hi Conor,
The org.tigris.subversion classes have been superseded by the ones in
the org.apache.subversion from what I know. If you take a look at
SVNClient class there you will notice that the method has the
following signature:
public native byte[] propertyGet(String path, String name,
Revision revision, Revision pegRevision)
This will return null byte array as you desire and will not attempt
any conversions to String.
On a related note, is there anything stopping your from using the API
in the org.apache.subversion package rather than ones in the
org.tigris.subversion?
Cheers,
Vladimir
