You are not providing any details as to why selecting the projects and
doing merge does not work for you. It does for me.

You will have properties at both levels, but SVN handles this in terms
of applying it with merge tracking. It will go to the repository and
find the parent mergeinfo.

I do not believe this feature looks beyond the project.

This feature also does not look beyond the project. But this feature
is also set once, and by a user. So you can just set it on any
folders where you need it.
