start-commit hook client capabilities - mergeinfo only?

I have these versions:

Client: svn, version 1.8.8 (r1568071) with ra_svn, ra_local and ra_serf
Server: version 1.8.9 (r1591380) with fs_fs
Using protocol https://

I created and installed a start-commit hook that echos its third
parameter (client capabilities) to a log file, ran a test-commit with
the above software, and all that is echoed for client-capabilities is:
mergeinfo. The repository access is over https:// .

Any idea what is going-on here? There are other capabilities
mentioned in the documentation, such as "depth", "log-revprops", but
these don't appear. In particular I am interested in the new
auto-props feature in 1.8+ clients - is there a capability sent for
that, and if not, should there be?

Thanks
Brett
