  General recommendations for Eclipse UI are recommend not to use popup
menus in dialogs. So, the options are to add some sort of action column
with drop down or introduce special action button that would work for
selected items.

  Personally I wouldn't bother about commit dialog and focus on using
Synchronize view where you already have "add to svn:ignore" action.
