changing properties in the dumpfile for a file for a specific revision 
works like changing the file content itslef: You change the full set of 
properties. No delta records or whatever. I was first fouled by the our 
code, that remitted an empty propset for any checkin. I was wondering, 
why my properties only existed on the first revision, but disappeared in 
the second.
