How to get keywords automatically set, and ?auto-props flag to svn add?

[tn...@lexmark.com]

HI SVN Community:
Was playing around with keyword expansion today, and was wondering if there
is a way to get
the property
svn:keywords
set automatically on svn add?

Then I saw (in svn add --help) the options:
--auto-props
and wondered if this was it.  Played around with it a bit and it didn't
seem to do what I wanted.  (BTW, I also searched the users archive and the
online subversion book to no avail ...)

So, a couple of questions:

1. How can I get subversion to automatically set the svn:keywords property
for all files?  Can I compile this in as a default or something?

2. What is svn add --auto-props ?

BTW, I am running subversion-032.1 on Linux Red Hat 8.0 ..

Thanks in advance for help/pointers,
Tim

It's a new feature, not yet documented in the book, but it's documented
in your ~/.subversion/config file.  You probably need to move your old
~/.subversion file out of the way, so that 'svn' can build you a new
one.  Here's the excerpt:



### Set enable-auto-props to 'yes' to enable automatic properties
### for 'svn add' and 'svn import', it defaults to 'no'.
### Automatic properties are defined in the section 'auto-props'.
enable-auto-props = yes

### Section for configuring automatic properties.
### The format of the entries is:
### file-name-pattern = propname[=value][;propname[=value]...]
### The file-name-pattern can contain * as wildcard. All entries
### which match will be applied to the file.
