What, you mean stuff I don't care about?

Then why bother to sync it at all?  Stuff I don't care about I, well,
don't care about. (Which, actually, for me, is most things. I'm with
Gregory here w/r/t Not Caring.)

For the files of some interest in a home directory, they have to _be_
in the home directory.  Manually copying 'em up from some subdirectory
is a pretty useless procedure.  And if you make a link, well, then we're
back to where we were.

Omit?

I wouldn't add everything anyway; every version-control system I have
used has has let me mix version-controlled files and non-version-controlled
files in the same directory, I'm sure SVN would allow the same sort of
thing.
