[Tipz] Subversion client configuration

[Marc Dougherty]

For those of you running Subversion (http://subversion.tigris.org).

There are a few issues that I found minorly annoying about subversion,
and I have found a fix: the often-neglected subversion client config
file. (typically found in /home/$USER/.subversion/config).

Here are the juicy bits:

### ~/.subversion/config ###
# no more troublesome "keeping passwords around in plaintext"
[auth]
store-password = no

# no more "oops, you dont have an editor!"
[helpers]
editor-cmd = vim

[miscellany]
#globally ignore these files in 'svn status' outputs
global-ignores =  *.o *.lo *.la .*.swp

#for cvs-like expansion of $Id$
enable-auto-props = yes

# (sets the below properties on 'svn add')
[auto-props]
* = svn:keywords=Id

### END ~/.subversion/config ###

Auto props eliminate the need to repeatedly add this property to all of
your files. the svn book has more info
(http://svnbook.red-bean.com/svnbook/).

There's plenty more stuff that can be done here, i just dont have time
to play with it all.
