Or here's a perl script that'll list only text files that already have
the '$Id' keyword in them:

    #!/usr/bin/perl
     
    use strict;
    use warnings;
     
    use File::Find;
    use Getopt::Std;
     
    our $opt_0;
    getopts("0");
    my $term = "\n";
    if ($opt_0){
        $term = "\0";
    }
     
    die "usage: find_id [-0] DIR ...\n" unless @ARGV;
     
    find(\&process, @ARGV);
     
    sub process {
        return unless -f $_; # only interested in plain files
        return unless -T $_; # only interested in text files
        return if ($File::Find::name =~ m|/\.svn/|);
        open FILE, $_;
     
        while (<FILE>){
            if (/\$Id/){
                print $File::Find::name, $term;
                last;
            }
        }
        close FILE;
    }

You can then save and examine the output or pipe it directly to xargs.
If your filenames might have spaces, use the '-0' option to this script
(as well as to xargs).

Someone familiar with the Perl bindings could probably add the 'svn propset'
directly to the script as well...
