The property name gets transferred as an XML name but it appears that the server does some escaping to allow non-XML-name characters. If I use 'svnadmin load' to set a property with a name 'p<>p' then I can still checkout over http, the XML sent over the wire is: <S:set-prop name="p<>p">vvvv</S:set-prop> -- uberSVN: Apache Subversion Made Easy http://www.uberSVN.com
