Oh, thanks I hadn't thought of that!

+1, sounds like it could work.

Yeah something like this is what I was thinking about with Greg. Like wouldn't
it be nice if I could define something like:

property: svn:external-ignores:foodir
value: *.pyc

Then when pulling in an svn:external named foodir, we could check to see if this
property was defined and then filter on incoming files using the svn:ignore
value for it.
