Of course, Max is right. Leading and trailing spaces are not needed
which is what I was implying by asking if you had tried it w/o quotes.
This config worked for a simple test.

[auto-props]
*.c = svn:eol-style=native;svn:keywords=LastChangedDate
LastChangedRevision URL

Max explained it quite well above for the config file.

If you did a propget on a recently imported file for svn:keywords it
would be interesting to see what is returned. Note that the values
should not be quoted in the output.

To add properties via the command line you would:

        svn propset svn:keywords \
        "LastChangedDate LastChangedRevision URL" <filename>

The quotes here are needed to keep the space separated list as a single
argument to the svn command.

This is what I think you were confusing.

Chris
