Yes, you're the first one asking for this, AFAIK :-).

But I don't understand what you're trying to do. You want to include
the WC-root-relative path to *another dir* inside some config file,
while you're checking out or updating that config file? That's weird.
The keywords in SVN are only able to include information that's
directly related to the file in question, not information about
another file or dir.

But regardless, this sounds to me more like something you should solve
with a build script or somesuch ...
