So you're saying "svnlook pl --revprop -t" is not meant to work? If that's
correct, how are we meant to know this from the output of "svnlook help pl"
(which I'll show again) which clearly states that "--revprop" may be used with
either "-r" or "-t"?
$ svnlook help pl
proplist (plist, pl): usage: 1. svnlook proplist REPOS_PATH PATH_IN_REPOS
2. svnlook proplist --revprop REPOS_PATH
List the properties of a path in the repository, or
with the --revprop option, revision properties.
With -v, show the property values too.
Valid options:
-r [--revision] ARG : specify revision number ARG
-t [--transaction] ARG : specify transaction name ARG
-v [--verbose] : be verbose
--revprop : operate on a revision property (use with -r or -t)
--xml : output in XML
