When loading a dump file we 1. Complain about invalid property contents, 2. Provide no simple way of fixing trivial cases in 'svnadmin load', but 3. Inconsistently provide those automatic fixes if the user jumps through a bunch of hoops: http://stackoverflow.com/a/32030939/421049
Given that the server does not really care about whether props content is valid and / or often had to deal with anyway before dumping, I'd like suggest 'svnadmin load' warn about them but at least in trivial cases accept them. Aborting a load - potentially late in the process - without strong reason seems unfriendly. More importantly, 'svnadmin load' needs to grow an option to normalize properties the same way svnsync does. -- Stefan^2.
