The problem seems to be that you are looking for an answer in a depth-first way. I assumed that the connection to other well documented usage was made. I had explained that the repository-dictated autoprops configuration is implemented using versioned properties in the repository, and that the property name is called "svn:auto-props" At this point, the documentation on setting properties becomes relevant, which itself is no longer special to repository-dictated configuration. See: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.advanced.props.html#svn.advanced.props.manip Use propedit/propset on a suitable object inside your repository, like "/" (root), "/trunk" or a path of your choice that fits your use case. $ svn propedit svn:auto-props FOO Here FOO is either local working copy path or a repository URL. If FOO is a URL, the change will be committed as a revision immediately. If it is a local working copy path, the change will be repository visible when it is committed. This is also not special for repository-dictated configuration but works the same for all versioned properties. This then is how this may look when set, although the syntax is no different from the runtime configuration previously known: $ svn propget svn:auto-props https://svn.example.com/repo1/trunk *.foo = svn:mime-type=image/foo This will make any files matching *.foo be automatically added with the svn:mime-type property set to image/foo by clients that are aware of inherited properties. This is how this looks in a working copy: $ touch testwc/empty.foo $ svn add testwc/empty.foo A (bin) testwc/empty.foo "(bin)" indicates that a binary mime type (here: image/*) was automatically added for the empty file. And indeed it is the made-up mime type configured via auto-props: $ svn propget svn:mime-type testwc/empty.foo image/foo Andreas
