Well, it does require some programming knowledge to modify hook scripts.
I thought there was a pre-commit hook already written that would take
as its input a Subversion config file and read out the auto-props
definitions you had made, and enforce them on the incoming commit.
But I don't know how to find that now. I've tried a few searches.
Here's a script which is part of the Subversion source distribution
which could be a fairly simple example of checking for properties.
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/contrib/hook-scripts/check-mime-
type.pl
This one checks that svn:mime-type is set and, if the MIME type
starts with "text/", makes sure svn:eol-style is set. You could
modify the few lines there to have it make sure instead that
svn:needs-lock is set.
