There is no way to invert the meaning of svn:ignore, as you say. You
can either just commit your *.h, *.c, *.m files and deal with the
fact that "svn status" will show lots of other files that you don't
care about, or you can list various patterns in your svn:ignore (or
global ignores) that exclude all those files. If the names of the
files you'd like to exclude have extensions, or other recognizable
patterns, you can list those (*.o, foo*). If they do not, you'll have
to list each filename (checklistfile, etc.).
