Have you read the Chapter "Subversion for CVS Users" in the Subversion
book? If not, see http://svnbook.red-bean.com/svnbook/apa.html

What is wrong with something like

$ find . \( -type d -a -name .svn -a -prune \) \
-o \( -type f -a -print0 \) | \
xargs -0 svn propset svn:keywords Id

in a working copy? Takes a few seconds for the 1108 files in the current
subversion source tree. Combine with -a -name \*.[ch] or similar in the
second parenthesized expression to limit to specific file types.

See find(1L), xargs(1L).

I am very glad it isn't. There wouldn't be much point using it if it
were "completely compatible".
