So now we're talking about something different than Shannon's initial
question which I answered a moment ago. Now we're talking about how
to automatically set svn:keywords on files.

Yes.

All elements that have a period in their name, yes, but you probably
do not want to set svn:keywords or svn:eol-style on binary files. So
you probably should not have an auto-props definition matching * or
*.*. Instead, define a rule for each file extension that is a text
file (if you want the properties on all text files).

No, the only way is via auto-props in the client-side config file.
There is no way to do it on the server side. What you can do server-
side is to write a pre-commit hook which rejects the commit of any
file whose properties don't match your requirements. The error
message your hook script prints out can inform your users how to set
up their config file properly, or guide them to a correctly-
configured config file they can download and install.
