An excellent alternative. I will keep this in mind.
Thanks Andrew

Plan B might be to use svn_load_dirs.pl: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/contrib/client-side/svn_load_dirs/
It has a "glob_ignores" option, or will try to read your global-ignores from your local svn config file.
From the script:
===============
# If no glob_ignores specified, try to deduce from config file, # or use the default below.
my $ignores_str =
'*.o *.lo *.la #*# .*.rej *.rej .*~ *~ .#* .DS_Store';
if ( defined $opt_glob_ignores)
{
$ignores_str = $opt_glob_ignores;
}
elsif ( -f "$ENV{HOME}/.subversion/config" )
{
open my $conf, "$ENV{HOME}/.subversion/config";
while (<$conf>)
{
if ( /^global-ignores\s*=\s*(.*?)\s*$/ )
{
$ignores_str = $1;
last;
}
}
}
