No. Doing that would mean that Subversion has to loose data (your local
modifications of that file). And Subversion *never* looses data, and you
can't even tell it to.

Not really! If you have a file versioned which get's modified
automatically by your build procedure, then you will always get
conflicts. Question is: why is this file versioned anyway?
