I do see that distinction and I completely agree with your analysis.

My position is that svn properties is the easiest way for me to distribute
this kind of client configuration (we could call it "client hints"). If
there is a majority that Subversion should not provide that, then I won't
stand in the way of consensus.

There are a lot of other options as well to configure the clients, AD group
policies probably being the most common in a corporate environment but
these have a higher bar to get started.

Kind regards,
Daniel
