You are right, this is really dangerous. Sorry for suggesting this!!

I believe (I never tried it) that it would work to add stuff to the
.subversion configuration file under
	global-ignores
see svn-book, Chapter 7. Advanced Topics:

       global-ignores
When running the svn status command, Subversion lists unversioned files
and directories along with the ver-
sioned ones, annotating them with a ? character (see the section called
"svn status"). Sometimes, it can be an-
noying to see uninteresting, unversioned items--for example, object
files that result from a program's compila-
tion--in this display. The global-ignores option is a list of
whitespace-delimited globs which describe the
names of files and directories that Subversion should not display unless
they are versioned. The default value is
*.o *.lo *.la #*# .*.rej *.rej .*~ *~ .#* .DS_Store.


Maybe this could help?

Best wishes

Norbert

FRAMLINGHAM (n.)
A kind of burglar alarm usage. It is cunningly designed so that it can
ring at full volume in the street without apparently disturbing
anyone. Other types of framlingams are burglar alarms fitted to
business premises in residential areas, which go off as a matter of
regular routine at 5.31 p.m. on a Friday evening and do not get turned
off til 9.20 a.m. on Monday morning.
