Ignoring resources from Version Control [message #17115]

When I check out a project from the repository and than add a file on the
local copy later it is no problem to set the svn:ignore property for it so
it wont be considered in the next synchronisation.

but when I want to ignore a checked out file it is not possible. what do I
have to do to ignore checked out files to get updated in the future
synchronisations?

for example: you checked out a project containing a specific configuration
file. to test your changes on your local system you have to change the
database settings in this file. for sure you dont want this file to be
committed in the next step...

thanks for help

hi,

SVN doesnt support this. the SVN help suggest to have a template for
such configs in the repository which needs to be renamed after first
check out.

we do it like so that we append .#~#~# to the file name. the developer
just has to remove that suffix and then adjust it to his needs. eg:

db.properties.#~#~# -> db.properties

we found that this ending is VERY unique and doesnt cause any trouble
(escaping) on windows or unixes.
