The 'svn:keywords' property needs to be set on per-file basis too and it
doesn't seem to be a showstopper. As was previously discussed in this
thread, ability to automatically set properties (as iprops, repository,
or client-side settings) may be implemented as an orthogonal feature.
Having custom (or alias) keywords without that may still benefit
Subversion in many ways.
