OK, the other problem with that is that (currently with CVS) people like
creating tar-balls with the CVS directories included. This saves much of
the cost of the first 'cvs update' or 'cvs checkout' and is very much
appreciated for large heavily-accessed CVS trees (the linux kernel CVS at
rutgers, or the m68k port, for example). This is going to be a
*nightmare* (sure to be widely misconstrued as a bug) if the person
creating the tarball uses a different .svnrc setting than the person
unpacking it.
I would strongly recommend a *per-directory* flag (which applies to
subdirectories). This is similar to .cvsignore except for the directory
recursion. That way, project maintainer X, who likes '..XXsvnXX..' (say)
can simply make sure that there is a '.svnrc' file at top-level of his
project which sets this preference. Than all the tar-ball unpackers will
end up with ..XXsvnXX.. directories too and everything will work.
THIS IS NOT A TRIVIAL MATTER. Subversion itself is an example where an
improperly chosen 'SVN/.svn/.SVN' setting could cause the build to fail
(using 'SVN' directories names while trying to create the 'svn' binary on
a case-insensitive filesystem). It is *vital* that the project be able to
specify its own directory-name preferences.

[I personally think y'all should chose a name and stick with it, but if
you *do* allow user prefs, than the above mechanism is a requirement.]
