Don't forget to make yourself a pre-commit check that ensures that
the property is set on newly added files. Or, you could have a
maint. task walk the repo on a regular basis, setting the property
and doing an automated checkin. Unlike other external maint. tasks
that have the potential to require the users to constantly run 'stat -
u' followed by 'update' to track the maint. changes, the addition of
a property that doesn't really have a value shouldn't cause merge
conflicts.

I suppose if your maint. task added 'svn:needs-lock=1' and a user
added a file, committed it and then added 'svn:needs-lock=yes' you
might run into trouble, but that's more of a training issue as to
what value you want your users to use for 'svn:needs-lock'.
