Setting that property on many files is going to be really hard in TSVN.
You can set it easily for one file. You can set it fairly easily (by
typing in the property name) for a complete hierarchy. But you can't set
it for multiple files. Like if I want to set it in all files in this
folder, but not sub folders.

Nor can you do this (or set any property) from the repo browser. You
have to check out a WC first. Maybe repo browser is the best place to
add such functionality without cluttering the UI for everyday use.

Shall I put this in the issue tracker for after 1.2 release?
