Notice, this code is used to determine the names of the properties that have been added, deleted, or modified on a file. But, it doesn't parse a change for its value (*), which is necessary to apply or unapply the change using svn-apply and svn-unapply, respectively.

(*) Disregarding the "Name" and "Modified" type properties, this code would work to determine the value of the svn:executable bit since the svn:executable property has no defined value as per <http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.advanced.props.file-portability.html#svn.advanced.props.special.executable>. Hence, we can infer whether it was added or removed from its property type. Clearly, this code cannot detect the value of the svn:executable property for SVN version < 1.5. Notice, Leopard 10.5.8 ships with SVN 1.4.4.
