We're talking about the svn_repos_fs_change_rev_prop4() changes, not about the RA protocol changes. Briefly, svn_repos_fs_change_rev_prop4() (which is the function that computes the ACTION parameter to the pre-revprop-change hook) uses the *atomic* FS "change revprop" API regardless of the client version.
