Default svn properties

[Juan Manuel Palacios]

	Hey everybody! I've been mailed privately concerning the log in one of 
my recent commits to our repo (r21682), so I guess I was successful at 
catching people's eyes ;-) I do know about svn pre and post commit 
hooks, but I'm not that well versed in the matter, I'm just learning as 
I go along. So I'd like to ask everyone for some help since we seem to 
have some pretty experienced users here.

	Mark suggested publishing an officially recommended .subversion/config 
file (most likely to our wiki), whereas Rolf spoke about a pre-commit 
hook. I believe we should use both options to both ensure we get 
everything we need in any given commit (.subversion/config file) and 
that we constantly remind our committers of our requirements if for any 
reason they happen to make an improper commit from a location without 
an appropriate conf file (pre-commit hook): the latter should check if 
all the properties we ask for are met for Portfiles and patchfiles upon 
commit, though we'd have to discuss how to properly recognize every 
single way to possibly name a patchfile; we could also toss in there 
checks for mime types and execute bits, if appropriate.

	Please discuss and make your recommendations, and if anyone is willing 
to do the writing, great! I can coordinate with kvv getting the 
pre-commit hook installed where we need it.

	Thanks to all for your help! Regards,...
