Enforcing svn property needs-lock for a repo subset

Hi

I'm aware that this has been discussed before, but I have a slight twist on the usual question...

We want to enforce the needs-lock property on Word documents added to a svn repository.

I have read in the svn manual that this should not be done using a pre-commit hook.

A possibility is to use the svn CheckProperty hook which could refuse commits of .doc files lacking needs-lock. However, it would be better to silently add the property automatically.

The obvious answer is to use the client-side config file:

*.doc = svn:mime-type=application/msword;svn:needs-lock=*

The twist for us is that we only want to enforce this for some of our repositories (we use one repo per project), but we push out a common config file to all users using a Windows script.

Is it possible to modify the config file line above to apply to a subset of repos?

Best regards

David
