This may sound like a stupid question, but what makes ~/mail/.svn not a
mailbox?
If it's the leading "." character, and this principle applies to all other
dotfiles, then the solution is to rebuild imap-uw with hideDotFiles set
to "T" (true).
If it's the fact that you didn't say it was a mailbox, and you want the
ability to anoint only some files in your ~/mail hierarchy as mailboxes,
then you'll need a mail client that uses the IMAP subscription facility
correctly.
If it's neither of these, and you expect all files in ~/mail to be
mailboxes, then it's svn's fault for putting something there that isn't a
mailbox.
