I hacked something like this in a post-commit hook, but I didn't like
how it effectively made many commits increase the revision number twice,
and how it makes your wc out of date right after committing.

Is there any plan to make it possible to set server-side policies, such
as auto-enabling svn:keywords on certain files for everyone, or whatnot?
