(Where we understand you didn't actually mean 'revprop'.)
We have that option already ... unfortunately it doesn't actually work:
$ echo bar > foo
$ svn add --config-option config:miscellany:enable-auto-props=yes \
--config-option config:auto-props:foo=svn:special=1 foo
A foo
$ ls -l foo
-rw-r--r-- 1 peters peters 4 Nov 8 10:57 foo
$ svn ci -mm
svn: E145001: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: E145001: Entry '/tmp/foowc/foo' has unexpectedly changed special status
