And of course, you might want to try
*.* = svn:needs-lock;...
instead of just
* = svn:needs-lock

Also, make sure to back up all your files NOW. Because with that setting
you will corrupt your non-text data pretty soon:
You're telling svn to expand keywords in ALL files, even binary ones.
And the chance that a binary file contains the three bytes "$id"
somewhere is pretty good. So good luck opening up that bin file when the
id keyword got expanded.

My advice: do NOT set the svn:keywords property on all files but only on
specific file types where you really need the keywords expanded. And
leave all other files without the keyword set.
