How to automate property setting in SVN?

svn tortoisesvn pre-commit-hook

My subversion repository has a pre-commit hook that requires all files to have a SVN property before its commit.

I am setting this property manually making each addition of files and folders a 2-step commit.

How to automate this?

Take a look at the Automatic property setting section in the TortoiseSVN documentation.

You can either locally configure each client as already explained by Josh, or alternatively put the configuration in the repository with the tsvn:autoprops property. The latter only works for TortoiseSVN clients though.

The command line client doesn't support server-side configuration of autoprops. There are some change requests related to this, e.g. issue 1974 and issue 1813.
