The problem (as with most server-side config type questions) is that
you don't necessarily want it to be per-repository, because a
repository may contain many different projects (look at the ASF
subversion repository on svn.apache.org for example) that have wildly
differing standards with regard to things like properties. So you
need to be able to set them on a per-project basis, then you run into
the fact that there's no really well defined "project" in svn, so you
need to be able to set them on an arbitrary directory. Oops, now
you're talking about inherited properties again.
Now, it's not necesarily the crazy complex inherited properties some
people talk about, there are ways to implement it that are simpler (a
proposal was floated around on this list a while back that involved a
special new command that just asks the server "does this property
exist on this directory or any of its parents", which wouldn't be that
bad to implement, but nobody has actually done it yet.
So unfortunately, one way or another you do get back to inherited
properties in some form ;-)
