First of all, never ever ever ever think of .subversion/config stanzas
en masse as coming from the repository. We have some dangerous
preferences in there like the diff command, which should only ever be
configured by the client for security reasons.

Ignoring that little botch, who says keywords, auto-props, and ignores
should be repository-wide defaults? It's quite possible that someone
will want to apply different keywords, default properties, and ignore
patterns to different parts of a repository.
