If you're using something like bash to write your post-commit hook script, you'll be running "svnlook changed" to see what files were changed by the revision, and then for each one, you'll be doing your check. In between those steps (getting the list of files, and checking them), filter out the ones you don't want to check (those in Docs). For example using "grep -v /Docs/". Alternately, discard everything *except* the paths you want to check, e.g. Bar: "grep /Bar/".
