See the thread from last friday, called "unversioned files.", it discusses
some such things.

I don't think that is going to happen soon, just think of the scenario that I
update to a different version than HEAD, what should Subversion do? Also,
what if I commit something, should this automatically wipe out those files or
risk them being out of sync. This is pretty hairy to "get right" and not
confuse or surprise anybody.

Use a post-commit hook that updates a fileserver. Just splitting your workflow
between 'work space' (which is used to edit things) an 'public space' (used
to publish things) would probably do the job, but I guess you are doing
something like that already...
