I sort of did that before posting, but results depend on how and where I ask.
# remote host, http:// finds nothing
remote-host> svn propget --revprop -r 0 svn:entry:committed-date
https://my/repo
svn: E200017: Property 'svn:entry:committed-date' not found on revision 0
# local host, http:// finds the property
local-host> svn propget --revprop -r 0 svn:entry:committed-date
https://my/repo

# local host, file:// finds the property
local-host> svn propget --revprop -r 0 svn:entry:committed-date
file:///my/repo

That's just weird. Before posting I had run only the first of those. Any idea
why the property is visible from one host but not another?
Regardless, you've helped me find a range of revisions that have the property,
which I can easily remove.
Thanks.
