"cloak" a part of tree?

[Ray Johnson <Ra...@ingenio.com>]

 
VSS has a notion of "cloaking" a directory for a user.  The prevents
recursive updates etc. from traverse that part of a larger repository.
Given the size of our repository this is rather useful for some folks.
 
We would like to do something like this in Subversion.  Some how mark a
given sub-directory in a working copy as "cloaked" or something such
that a svn update or svn commit would not consider files in that
directory (or it's children.  Is there a way to do this with subversion?

If you're using mod_authz_svn to control read/write access at the 
directory level, just turn off a user's read access to a directory.  If 
they checkout a parent dir, the subdirectory won't show up in the 
working copy.
