I could do, yes - but I'd like to see new files that arrive via svn  
up without manually adding them to the project.

OK, that answers my question about whether that works :)

You present that as a clear either-or choice - which it may not be.  
It might be possible for Allan to add an option to switch on manual  
project updates in just an hour or so - maybe less. Also it might be  
that if Allan devoted some time to this he'd have code he could use  
in 2.0. I'm speculating of course - but then so are you :)
