Native svn working copies are also created when you use "bzr checkout
--lightweight".

If we had a "bzr svn-setprop" command it would only work in Subversion
working copies (and for that purpose you can already use "svn propset").
Supporting such a command in Bazaar working trees / branches would
require format changes in Bazaar itself, since there is no place to
store file properties at the moment. I am doubtful such a change would
be accepted in Bazaar, since it's just a workaround for features that
are in progress.
