No, it was my fault!  SVNKit refuses editing of 'svn:wc' properties.
But, anyway, thank you very much for the explanation.

Yeah, that was a minor bug in svnkit.  I already sent you a patch
(actually I sent two, but I would recommend the second one)

So to get this right, svn:entry is not related to DAV, right?  It is
used by svn in general to, for example, schedule an add.  With
''gerneral'' I mean, this property is not related to some specific
protocol or sth. similar, but belongs to the ''core'' of svn.

BTW, I am asking these questions cause I want to extend svn/ svnkit by
further untweakable meta-properties.  For sure I will use my own prefix,
but I want to treat those similar to svn:entry.
