Examples

You can use svn proplist to see the properties on an item in your working copy:

    $ svn proplist foo.c
    Properties on 'foo.c':
      svn:mime-type
      svn:keywords
      owner

But with the --verbose flag, svn proplist is extremely handy as it also shows you the values for the properties:

    $ svn proplist --verbose foo.c
    Properties on 'foo.c':
      svn:mime-type : text/plain
      svn:keywords : Author Date Rev
      owner : sue
