*vc dir * buffer does not show files whose svn properties have been modified.
note that "svn status" at the command line does show these files.
this means that I cannot use emacs to commit property changes.

Hopefully fixed in trunk, please give it a try.

nope, it is not.

$ svn st
 M      .

but in the VC dir buffer the directory "." is not marked in any way.

I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

Directories haven't been mentioned before now. A complete example in
the initial report is always helpful.

This only affects ".", which vc-svn-after-dir-status explicitly skips
for some reason.

So...  is this a bug or a feature?  :-)

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

This was added by:

commit 524a655d93e4e535ccab96f6650a18f8d1816e03
Author:     Dan Nicolaescu <dann <at> ics.uci.edu>
AuthorDate: Wed Apr 15 00:32:47 2009 +0000

    (vc-svn-after-dir-status): Fix regexp to allow for
    file names with leading spaces.  Ignore "." if it appears as a
    filename.

But the commit message doesn't say anything about why "." should be
ignored.  Dan, do you remember?  It's only been 13 years, after all.

There was no response in a month, and it seems like it would make sense
to allow tracking ".", too, so I've now reverted that bit of Dan's patch
in Emacs 29.
