Yes -- the properties.
The only way I can think of to do that would be:
$ svnadmin create newrepo
$ svn co $NEWREPO wc
$ svn export $OLDREPO wc
$ cd wc
$ svn add .
Then run "svn proplist -R -v $OLDREPO", and then create a script to
parse that output and set those properties again on the items in the
in-progress working copy. Then you can commit everything as the first
revision. Then you can "svnadmin dump" the new repo to create a
dumpfile that anyone can use to "svnadmin load" into a new repository.
Note that you should be distributing a dumpfile of this template
repository, and not copies of the repository itself, as the
repository contains a unique ID, which no two repositories should
share. True, that ID gets written to the dumpfile too, but it can
(and should be) ignored when loading: "svnadmin load --ignore-uuid".
I'm not sure though how you would go about enforcing that the --
ignore-uuid option always be used.
