The controller/ directory has these properties set:
% svn pl -v wc-neon
Properties on 'wc-neon':
svn:eol-style=native
xhci.h
svn:keywords=FreeBSD=%H
xhci.c
svn:mime-type=text/plain
xhci.h
Now, a the characters [/=%] are invalid in a Subversion property names:
% $svn ps / v iota
subversion/svn/propset-cmd.c:67: (apr_err=195011)
svn: E195011: '/' is not a valid Subversion property name
zsh: exit 1 $SVN ps / v iota
% $svn ps = v iota
subversion/svn/propset-cmd.c:67: (apr_err=195011)
svn: E195011: '=' is not a valid Subversion property name
zsh: exit 1 $SVN ps = v iota
% $svn ps % v iota
subversion/svn/propset-cmd.c:67: (apr_err=195011)
svn: E195011: '%' is not a valid Subversion property name
zsh: exit 1 $SVN ps % v iota
In the meantime, get the repository administrators to remove properties
that have invalid names (in the sense of svn_prop_name_is_valid()). For
the longer term fix, a related issue --- #4106 --- was filed earlier
today (so it's too early to tell when it might be fixed):
