Mac WebDAV clients and 'hidden' resource fork files

From: Kerry Todyruik <kerry_at_todyruik.com>

Some WebDAV servers on Macs send two files to the server through WebDAV.
One is the actual file (ie. 'test.txt') and another is a hidden
"resource fork" file (ie. '._test.txt').

One example is the Goliath WebDAV client. Here's a link from the Goliath
site explaining this
http://www.webdav.org/goliath/help0.9/chaps/rezforks.htm

This seems tolerable when using standard WebDAV like Apache mod_dav_fs,
but looks to me like a messy problem when using a Mac WebDAV client with
Subversion.

Has anyone else encountered this? Is it as much of an issue as it feels
to me at this point? Is there a straightfoward way to configure
Subversion to ignore these Apple resource fork files and not commit
them?

Any thoughts on this issue would be appreciated.

Thanks!
