Why should he have to think about it in the first place and have to
place an additional block file in such a folder, unrelated with
TortoiseSVN ? I heavily rely on TortoiseSVN (and heartfully thanks the
whole dev team for this excellent piece of great software). But my life
and disks and directories trees are not *only* devoted to TortoiseSVN
working copies. I have much more other deep complex trees which have
nothing to do with TortoiseSVN. Why should I have to place a file
everywhere I don't want TortoiseSVN to lose its time needlessly ?
Doesn't it look cleaner/simplet to add a file (or a configuration
setting) where TortoiseSVN should act ?

There could even be a master flip-flop switch between two functional
modes:

        [o] I want TSVN to operate in these locations only...
        [o] I want TSVN to operate everywhere, except in these locations...
