You can't do this efficently today. We don't have any kind of property
index, so you'd have to walk the whole tree all the way back to r1 to
return such a list. Equivalent in time to dumping the repository.
Yes, of course you can do this with shell tools...

I don't think it's quite that bad, since we don't use diffy storage for
property lists.
