setting svn:keywords globally

Is there a way to set the svn:keywords property globally for all text
files, new and old?  I'm predicting that having to set it on a
file-by-file basis will cause inconsistencies, especially when adding
new files to the system.

PS: I've already searched through the user mailing list, and I believe
that the answer is, "no, not right now."  But it's always nice to have a
confirmation.

Yes.  I'm more and more convinced they should be stored in the wc, or
maybe as per-dir properties ala svn:ignore, not in ~/.subversion.

Unfortunately, auto-props have the annoying feature of being a per
user configuration thing, rather than something one can set on a
repository, which makes for annoying headaches trying to maintain them
for dozens of developers...

That's right, but there are always auto-props.  Check
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/book/ch07.html#svn-ch-7-sect-1.3.2 for more
information.  Search for "enable-auto-props".
