Yes, I think that's what happened (i.e. someone committed something in
between these steps - though that would have been a commit to some
subnode of the one I tried to add a property to). Retrying it again,
everything works now.

Still, I'm wondering whether TSVN can't do anything about it. The repo
browser was pointing at HEAD so from a pure user's point of view
changing an SVN property and committing this change through the repo
browser shouldn't fail even if someone commits something (exception: a
property or tree change was done to the same node).

Unquestionably this is quite a rare case to run into and modifying svn
properties through the repo browser is not one of the most common use
cases IMO. So if this is nothing which can easily be changed and doesn't
point to some issue which changing/fixing would benefit more common
use-cases as well, I don't think investing more time here would be
worthwhile.

That said, thanks for taking the time to look into this and pointing out
the likely cause, Stefan.

Regards,
Stefan
