Re: setting svn:keywords per-directory? per-repo?

I have been thinking on the same problem. Right now I think that the correct
way to handle this is to have a special working directory, one not linked
to a user (I have put this on the server but it can be anyware). then every
so often (cron) a perl script runs that:

1) does a svn update on the special location.

2) check each file for a number of things:
        svn:keysords set correctly (the perl script looks at the file to
                figure out the type of the file.

        A correct copyright notice with the correct years.

        proper formating of the source (indent et. al)

        Other stuff not yet figured out.

3) If a file needs to be changes make the necessary changes and remember
  the file name for the commit comming up.

4) Create a log message.

5) Commit the changes.

6) E-mail notification to me and the director of engineering.

While this would allow some reviesion to fail the above test, a checkin
script can't alter the files being checked in.

I am working on this system right now but it is not yet ready for every
unit testing.
