How do I apply svn:needs-lock to an entire repository?

[Phil <pl...@gmail.com>]

I have a repository called "repo1"

What is the exact syntax that I need to apply svn:needs-lock to all
the files in "repo1" including all the files in the subdirectories...?

All the comments I have tried have failed.

Thanks.

Don't forget to make yourself a pre-commit check that ensures that  
the property is set on newly added files.  Or, you could have a  
maint. task walk the repo on a regular basis, setting the property  
and doing an automated checkin.  Unlike other external maint. tasks  
that have the potential to require the users to constantly run 'stat - 
u' followed by 'update' to track the maint. changes, the addition of  
a property that doesn't really have a value shouldn't cause merge  
conflicts.

I suppose if your maint. task added 'svn:needs-lock=1' and a user  
added a file, committed it and then added 'svn:needs-lock=yes' you  
might run into trouble, but that's more of a training issue as to  
what value you want your users to use for 'svn:needs-lock'.

svn co url://repo1 wc
svn propset -R svn:needs-lock yes wc
svn ci wc -m "Set needs:lock property on all files in repository"
