It shouldn't *be* a new backend function, but it should probably *call*
such a function. The reason I say that is that there are some ignorable
files that don't fit in the .svnignore/.cvsignore model.
As an example, right now I have in there logic to ignore Makefile if
it has a peer named Makefile.in or Makefile.am.
This is a good idea, but I have several higher-priority changes in my
queue. Are you interested enough to do it?
