For this sort of fine tuning, I know a similar tool which will do the trick,
SVN-Monitor [1]. But be aware that, although very powerful (in terms of filtering and
other interesting/advanced options), it also also consumes a lot more resources (CPU
and, specially, memory).

A simple filtering option would be pretty valuable, though. I'd suggest a
text/regular expression matching approach, with a few checkboxes where to be applied
(code/log message/commit paths); an additional checkbox could be used to allow
specifying if the matched items would be ignored or displayed. Allowing configuring
multiple filters for a given repository would also be useful, but then we'll be
approaching the already stated tool [1] (and I'm not sure about the
performance/resource consumption implications of such feature).

Well, guess I should should have crawled a bit more before commenting... ;-)

Actually, this part is partially already implemented though the "Filter" feature.
Although only for plain text searches (no regular expression/wild card), in a
simplified approach this would only need to be configurable for each project and to
be applied prior to highlighting a given entry (and displaying the notification).

The filter can use regex: just enter the '\' char as the first filter char and then
the rest of the string is used as a regex.
