Actually, it's paragraph-separate that should be changed (otherwise some
words from subsequent lines could be yanked to the end of the "-- ... --"
line).  Also the \\(..\\) is unnecessary because the \| operator has the
lowest precedence already, tho this doesn't make much difference.

 (add-hook 'svn-log-edit-mode-hook
   (lambda ()
    (set (make-local-variable 'paragraph-separate)
         (concat paragraph-separate
                 "\\|--This line, and those below, will be ignored--"))))
