After some of the good fellows on GD recommended SyncToy as a good, free tool to synchronise files across my 2 PCs, I've been giving it a go. But there's one problem. The folder I want to synchronise is a SVN checkout folder, which means it and ever single sub-folder contains a .svn folder. Now SyncToy allows me to manually select which parts of the directory tree are included, but I really don't want to have to manually deselect every single .svn folder. I think I can specify file types to be ignored but I couldn't see how to make it disallow all files or folders with certain names. Does anyone know how?

Probably not very helpful, I know, (I can't answer your question directly) but whilst SyncToy is a nice enough app I've found that Robocopy is much better for synchronising directories. You can use the command-line switch /XD .svn to prevent it from copying .svn directories.
