Re: Why not just enforce auto-props with a hook script that sets the right properties

I essentially did part of this and it now resides in:
   contrib/server-side/add-needs-lock.py.

This script can run as a post-commit hook, or just on a repository to
add "svn:needs-lock" when missing on files. It creates a new revision,
but
using the python API to act directly on the repository. (No server
side working copy needed.)

This script could (and should) be extended to support the full
set of auto-props.

Personally, I think it is best to just abort the commit if something
isn't right, but we had a set of users who wanted us to clean
up after them, instead of nagging them. I wanted to explore
the python API anyway, so this script was born late one night...
