Description

With 1.5.0, I see bogus property changes reported by "svnlook diff
--diff-copy-from -r NNN". It appears that when comparing properties, the
--diff-copy-from is ignored and all the pre-existing file properties are being
reported as added.

This is fully reproducible - the full scenario given at
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.subversion.devel/102428 .
The problem does not exist in 1.4.6, so this is a regression.
