I believe this improvement request stems from the fact that Medtronic (the customer) did a massive commit (to a very large change-set) setting the properties of ~300k files.
This has caused significant performance issues especially with svn log. There reasoning was if they could ignore properties this would help combat these performance issues. Does this make sense?
