This error code is specifically caused by an svn:* property whose value
contains a CR byte (0x0D). It could be either a revprop or a versioned
property. In either case, --bypass-prop-validation should allow the
load to proceed (but the invalid data will remain in the history of the
new repository).

Note that it's spelled "props" (short for "properties").
