That's true, yes. If you do operations in the TSVN repository browser,
you won't see the bugzID edit box when you enter the commit message.
But seriously: can you close an issue by simply copying/moving
files/folders around?

As I already said: it's not perfect. But it's the best we can do right
now, as long as Subversion doesn't provide the means we need to make it
better.
And I really don't understand your problem here:
Why do you need to check out every directory, *then* every
subdirectory?? You already have a working copy - just apply the
properties there and commit.
If you then start working on a new branch, you have to check out a
working copy anyway - so just apply the properties then.

Yes, the way we do it now. That's our work around for this missing feature.

Why do you need to add those to e.g. tags? Those are by definition
immutable (i.e. should not be changed anymore). So adding those
properties is not something you have to do.
And you can add the properties to all the branches you have when you
actually *work* on those branches, i.e. if you have a working copy
checked out from there.
