That would be fine for me too. Perhaps a new setting in
~/.subversion/config where one can list file names like .DS_Store
that svn is free to delete.
I do not think that version control is the right place to implement
this. This is something for build systems or client-side hooks.
There may be no build system involved. A lot of what we use svn for is
storing of documents and graphics. Nothing is getting "built".
Also for your particular fruit you look into one of the plugins for
finder that prevents these files to be written in the first place?
I'm not aware of any such plugin, have a link to share?
Anyway, I *do* want .DS_Store files to be created in general.
All I'm arguing for is that when svn deletes files (due to a move) and
then deletes the resulting "empty" parent folder, that it consider a
folder as "empty" if it only has .DS_Store.
