I’m not sure I know what you mean by allow a whole-directory exception. Do you mean a top level directory? Or some kind of parameter we pass to the hook to ignore some directory for that run?

I was thinking about excluding OpenSource/JSTests/ and maybe OpenSource/LayoutTests/ as these are the two directories where I expect all, if not most, tests that have tabs to live.

We could do this. One remaining problem, however, is that you can’t commit with git-svn as it doesn’t support svn properties (or at least I wasn’t able to figure it out).
