More concretely, here is my assumption:
- No Prop-content-length: => proplist is copied unmodified
- Else, if Prop-delta: true => proplist patches copysource's or
(PATH, REV-1)'s proplist
- Else, proplist replaces any existing proplist
I haven't verified this interpretation. I did verify that an
incremental dump of a revision that modifies the text of a node that
has properties does not print Prop-content-length:.
