Ignore a file in subversion but keep it in repository, possible ?

[Vadiraj Deshpande]

Hi experts,

Is it possible to keep a file in SVN repository but ignore it from versioning ? I have a local-env.properties file that every developer had to edit before they can do the build and it would contain developer system specific settings, which do not need to be versioned.

Help...

For files such as these, our project contains a master template for the file that never changes. Each developer copies this file and makes their devo-specific changes. The copied files are not placed in the repository.

..and each developer sets svn:ignore flag to ignore his/her copy of the file ?

If it resides within the source tree, yes. Some files (like build properties) reside in the developer's home folder and aren't a concern.
