I've finished my hook if anyone is interested.

Yes, I also thought it would be nice to automatically create the
properties I need. In fact, I originally assumed I could easily do
this with a hook. That is, create a hook that would automatically set
a property when I created a new file. However, I quickly discovered
that you can't set a property without a working directory which made
setting it with a hook almost impossible.

So, the best I can do is simply reject the commit until the user sets
the property itself which I hope encourages people to use the
auto-property ability of their client installation. At least this way,
I don't end up with files in my archive where someone forgot to set a
needed property.
