Hi Peter,

I found that the 'svn:ignore' of limited use so I added our own property called 'look:accept'
(I work for a company called looksoftware) and then wrote a python script to reject any commits
that did not match the 'look:accept' property or one of the common predefined file extentions (*.c, *.cpp, etc).

I've attached a copy of the script to this email. I convert it to an exe with py2exe as I find deployment simpler.
