This Ruby script is pretty convenient to set the svn:keywords of given filetypes. It uses regular expressions to match file names, and also supports exclude patterns as well. Just modify the $includes and $excludes variables as you need.

#!/usr/bin/ruby
# $Id: setSvnKeywordProperties.rb 2397 2005-11-07 10:57:56Z manker $

require 'find'

$includes = [ /\.txt$/, /\.java$/, /\.xml$/, /\.properties$/, /\.sh$/, /\.sample$/, /\.rb/ ]
$excludes = [ /\.svn$/ ]
$keywords = "Date Id Rev Author"

# Findes all files that match one of the patterns defined in the includes but
# does not match one of the patterns defined in the excludes. (excludes are pruned)
class PatternFinder
	def initialize(includes, excludes)
		@includes = includes
		@excludes = excludes
	end

	def find(base_dir)
		files_count = 0
		Find.find(base_dir) do |file_name|
			# check excludes
			@excludes.each do |pattern|
				Find.prune if file_name.match(pattern)
			end

			#
			is_found = @includes.detect do |pattern|
				file_name.match(pattern)
			end
			if is_found
				yield is_found, file_name
			end
		end
	end
end

if __FILE__ == $0
	pf = PatternFinder.new($includes, $excludes)
	pf.find(".") do |pattern, file_name|
		printf("%-20s %s\n", pattern.inspect, file_name)
		system "svn propset svn:keywords \"#{$keywords}\" #{file_name}"
	end
end

Usage is very simple, just execute the script in the base directory of your working copy.
