Exclude 1 directory while checking for modifications with SilkSVN

I'm trying to write a script (commandline or Powershell or ...) which will allow me to check if there were files modified without being checked in...

We have set-up a website and we've been using SVN Turtoise as a SVN client. My script should run every x-houre and check if any file had been modified on the server without it being checked in into SVN. Those modified files should be listed into a txt-file (and if possible it should send an email to notify someone there were modified files).

For now I have the very limited script:

svn status -q > modified_files.txt

and this does exactly what I want.
BUT, there is one directory which contains logs and user-uploaded content, so that folder shouldn't be checked for modifications. How can I do this with SilK?

  1. If your site is Working Copy (it seems so, because status command work), why you care about modified files? Just commit!
  2. If this folder is also under Version Control - you do Bad Thing (tm). Just exclude this folder from version control and use the same svn status -q as before (but see p.1)
  3. You can (on site WC) add all files and dirs except Upload folder into changelist and use status command with --changelist option

PS: remake your team workflow, which will exclude modification files directly on site and will use only "update from repo by hook" method, will be preferred way of solving problem
