Yes, you can set them client-side, via auto-props. Modifying an
in-flight transaction is even more painful than a hook script which
rejects the commit if your rules aren't followed.

There is an svn_apply_autoprops Python script. It reads your client's
auto-props section of the config file, and applies any properties per
the rules set there. However, if you have set non-conforming
properties on files that match the auto-props, they will also be
removed.
