If you are importing from an svk mirror or svnsync mirror, it will be
required to rewrite this portion.

Yeah.  These should probably be carried over in this pass.  Revision
properties could possibly be converted to extra RFC822-style headers in
the commit message.  Directory properties can go under $dir/.svnfe-props
(use an empty file to mark empty directories) and $filename.svnfe-props
- it is up to the data mining phase whether it wants to actually do
anything with that data later.
