[development] Getting SVN to deal with orphaned and new files

[Larry Garfield]

Possibly.  Or svn ignore.  Unfortunately as far as I know you can't set a 
server-wide ignore list, so I've never bothered to set it up for all of our 
developers.  (Some may have done it themselves.  I'm not sure.)  For my part I 
do nearly everything from the Linux command line ssh'ed into the dev server, 
so it's rarely an issue for me. :-)
