But in any case that would only be equivalent to Subver-
sion's per-revision properties, wouldn't it? Given man
git-svn's:

| [...]
| BUGS
|        We ignore all SVN properties except
|        svn:executable. Any unhandled properties are
|        logged to $GIT_DIR/svn/<refname>/unhandled.log
| [...]

there seems to be no obvious translation to git.
