It's not something people like to have with a version system (like svn adding
automatically all object files of a c project after the first compile and
commit). I would in this case write a bash script and run this as cron job.
You can easily run a svn status of this svn repos, all files which are not
there will have '?' in the status, get these files by using awk or perl
scripting and add them to the repository.
take care that the database doesn't grow to immense sizes.
