How do you get the history of a file/folder property in SVN?

Question

What\'s the easiest way to determine when a property was set on a file or folder? Basically, I\'m looking for an equivalent of \"svn blame\" that works on properties.

My svn-extensions toolbox now has svn-prop-annotate and (as a specialization) svn-mergeinfo-annotate commands. They perform poorly (because they run svn log and svn diff for each potential change), and may still have some dependencies and perculiarities to my particular working style, but try them if you're desperate enough.

Here's some sample output:

$ svn-mergeinfo-annotate --author karkat -l 5
67645 ingo.karka    Merged /branches/1.50/foobar:r67488
67423 ingo.karka    Merged /branches/1.50/foobar:r67315,67331
67339 ingo.karka    Merged /branches/1.50/foobar:r67279
53320 ingo.karka    Merged /branches/foo-1.01:r53317
