Ah, now that can be done much easier:

* create new repository
* checkout the empty repository
* create the directory tree, add the folders
* set the properties on the folders
* commit (results in rev1 in the repository)

now:

* dump that repository (svnadmin dump > repotemplate)

to create new repositories, use the repotemplate dump file:

* svnadmin create newrepository
* svnadmin load --ignore-uuid < repotemplate

After that, you have your repository set up with all the properties and
dir structure you want.

important: don't forget the --ignore-uuid when loading the dump file!
Otherwise all your repositories will have the same uuid, which is very,
very bad.

as an optional step, you could change the svn:date revision property
(that of rev1) to the current date after loading the dump template file
into the new repository.
