Seems like it would work better if your hooks just did something like
set the svn:ignore property for each new directory. Then the clients
don't get unexpected behavior when trying to commit. However, this
means that imports and commits of new directories will still contain
the unwanted files, so some workarounds would be needed.

Is there a way to set svn:ignore to apply to any newly created
directories in a repository? (analogous to "chmod g+s dir") If I have
a directory that currently has an ignore pattern set, adding a
directory under it doesn't inherit that property, so any files in it
matching the ignore pattern get added.

It looks like the auto-props config item might do the trick, but that is
still a client configuration. Any way to have repository-specific
values for client configurations stored in the repository?
