I've decided to go with option three: commit empty filter files to svn. The problem with option two is that we want to run our files past multiple filters, each of which may or may not exist, and doing this with if statements is extremely difficult. The problem with option one is that I'm lazy. ;-)

The way I see it, there's two solutions: 1. Take the source for FiltersFile, and change the exception section, which doesn't fit you. 2. Check if the file exists, prior to it (using the <IF> tags in the expansion pack, ant-contrib, I think) and then activate FiltersFile.
