Local copy changes

Hi,
I have what I guess is a rather unique requirement. In my
environment, local copy binaries change daily. However, I want these
changes to be ignored, except when the binary is locked.

For example, let's say I have files called ERPDATA.APP in my local
copy. It is a binary file used in development of an application.

1. ERPDATA.APP on the repository is version 15. This is the
current "valid" version of the file.
2. I update the local copy to the one on the repository (everything
fine up to here). Bothare on version 15, and TortoiseSVN shows a
green checkmark.

3. I recompile the application in my machine to test something. Due
to the way my development system works (and I can't change that) the
local copy of ERPDATA.APP changes internally (it stores some
statistical information which changes on opening and compiling).
At this moment, my TortoiseSVN changes the icon on ERPDATA.APP to a
red exclamation mark.
The thing is that I don't want these changes to be considered. I
want them to be ignored, and to continue to have ERPDATA.APP on
version 15.

I could manually do an update to bring back the version on the
repository. However, there are over 50 of these binary files, so it
would be cumbersome to do that.

4. Now, if I lock the ERPDATA.APP file, and modify it, THEN I would
like to have the TortoiseSVN report that the file has changed, so that
I have a visual cue that I need to commit these changes.

I know this is weird, but this is setting me back on fully using
subversion :-) For instance, I just recompiled everything about an
hour ago, and I have over 50 files that the system is reporting as
changed. Actually only one was indeed changed and needs to be
committed.

Any ideas as to how to work this out?

Thanks,
Edgard Riba
