subversion propset automation via auto-props

Found it:

Link: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch07.html#svn-ch-7-sect-1.3.2

config on my host currently reads:
...
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 wildcards (such as '*' and
### '?'). All entries which match will be applied to the file.
### Note that auto-props functionality must be enabled, which
### is typically done by setting the 'enable-auto-props' option.

Notes:
  • Quotes in file "config" prevented subversion from updating property Id in my test file. For example, this does not work:
    • *.cpp = svn:eol-style=native;svn:keywords="Id ..."
  • Whitespace confuses subversion propset application. For example:
    • This works:
      • $Id$
      • $Id:$
    • This does not work (note the whitespace):
      • $Id : $
  • Steps I applied to test:
    • Add this example header to a dummy file (new.cpp):
      /*******************************************************************************
      * #
      * # Author:
      author
      * #
      * # $Id: $
      * #
      * # *****************************************************************************/
    • svn add new.cpp
      • A new.cpp
    • svn proplist --verbose new.cpp
      • Properties on 'new.cpp':
        svn:keywords : Id Date LastChangedDate HeadURL URL Author LastChangedBy Rev Revision
        svn:eol-style : native
    • svn commit new.cpp -m "Initial revision"
      • Replacing new.cpp
        Transmitting file data .
        Committed revision 11.
    • cat new.cpp
      • /*******************************************************************************
        * #
        * # Author: author
        * #
        * # $Id: new.cpp 11 2008-02-24 19:26:30Z user $
        * #
        * # *****************************************************************************/
