We have a preference to do it for the history view when browsing
remote history. We never do it on anything local (history/commit).
TortoiseSVN only offers it for local.

There is a roadmap item to add something called "Inherited
Properties", which would do this sort of thing. It is a hard problem
and has not gone far. They are struggling with this issue a bit with
the merge tracking feature because it has a need like this.
Most likely it is not a feature we will see anytime soon.
