What svn props do you look for? I'm curious if I'm missing anything. There's eol-style of course, but that's per file, so there's no way I'm checking it on a giant source tree. And the actual release archive is an "svn export" (all this assumes svn and not git of course), so whatever svn props were there, they're gone now! It seems like svn props are a development issue rather than a release issue, no? Besides, I don't actually care about line endings when performing this QC step -- I just want to see that the archive really was exported from the VCS tag.
