The developers don't need to use auto-props. They can also do the
following to add a Portfile:

  svn add Portfile
  svn ps svn:keywords Id Portfile
  svn ci Portfile

The auto-prop is just a rule so that the "svn ps ..." line is
automatically performed when doing the "svn add ...".

If they forget to add the Id keyword, they can still do it later, or
some other developer can do it, or a script can fix it (just like a
script updates the PortIndex file); the svn:keywords is versioned,
like all non-revision properties.
