I can see a couple of ways that this could be accomplished; it really depends on
how you have your repository organized:

a) Standard project/trunk, project/branch, project/tag format - in this case,
you would set a log-template iprop on trunk and branch; any branches would
inherit the special branch template immediately upon copying (I'm assuming the
trivial path-based inheritance).

b) All projects under a common folder and all branches under a different common
folder - if you only had two templates, you would again apply them to the
highest directory which contains all of the folders which that template should
apply to.

c) Some mixed style repository - you are always free to create the log template
iprop immediately after the copy (in fact you could probably do this in a
post-commit hook).
