svn_apply_autoprops.py is what you want (it's in the contrib portion
of SVN repository, but I don't know if that's the most up to date
version). Last time I used it, it would remove any properties which
did not conform to your auto-props settings, so if you have "custom"
properties on a few files they will be overridden by the auto-props
setting.

You'll have to check out a WC, run the script, then commit the changes.
