shouldn't be too hard to add.  As well as some repo-repo rsync scripting
such as available (for sale? not sure) from wandisco.  Or an 'svn ignore'
primitive that adds file names to the ignore property :)

the problem with svn patches is that everyone who uses svn is too busy
working on whatever they're using it for to be motivated to add incremental
improvements :)
