It's not possible, even on the Linux clients. The "global"
configuration in /etc/subversion is only applied to users which don't
already have their own config file - think of it as a template rather
than an actual config file (at least from what I understand).

There is currently no method in Subversion available for
setting/enforcing global properties. The closest one can get is to
install a pre-commit hook which checks for properties on files as
they're being committed, and rejects the commit if the rules aren't
met.
