Umm, there is support for the svn:ignore property, which is essentially 
equivalent to .cvsignore, and there is an $Id$ keyword, you just have to 
set svn:keywords to Id on each file to get it to expand the keyword. 
Unlike CVS subversion does not default to expanding keywords.  The only 
thing you've mentioned that isn't supported is the $Log$ keyword, and we 
have good reasons for not supporting it.  I suggest reading up on 
svn:ignore and svn:keywords in the book.
