That's not quite right. From perldoc perlre:

"A word boundary (\b) is a spot between two characters that has a \w on 
one side of it and a \W on the other side of it (in either order), 
counting the imaginary characters off the beginning and end of the 
string as matching a \W."

> $ perl -e "print ('.svn/foo' =~ /\b\.svn/ ? 'match' : 'no match')"
> no match

perl -e "print ('svn/foo' =~ /\bsvn/ ? 'match' : 'no match')"
match

The problem is that a dot is not a word character, so there would have 
to be a \w BEFORE the \b for it to be a word boundary. The OP needs an 
separate test for the .svn case.

Cheers, Dave
