We've been using SVN for many years... AFAIK the keywords property needs
to be set only once.
To avoid missing them we have a script that runs every night to add that
property. All you have to do is:
cd /path/to/some_local_copy
svn cleanup
svn update
svn propset svn:keywords "Author Date Id Revision" -R .
svn commit -m "Adding Keywords property"
And you'll never miss a keyword again
