1. I suppose you are using TortoiseSVN.
See tsvn:autoprops, as described here:
http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-propertypage.html#tsvn-dug-propertypage-tsvn-props

2. See also
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1974
"server-side config which 'broadcasts' to clients"
It is scheduled for SVN 2.0
