HI Amir,
How about changing the order of your sourcecode ?
I'd try a setup like this:
Every user uses his own branch in the repos. In this branch, the user
specific file is hold in a seperate directory (all these files are
copies of a common ancestor with the common parts in it).
The users check oput this directory and are adding the rest of the
project (the trunk) as external projects.
With this screnario, each developer has his own file inside svn and the
common trunk is untouched.
So this would be the layout of the repos
/ -- users
| |-- foo
| | |--footypes.h
| | |--project (property externals: repos/project/trunk)
| |-- bar
| | |--bartypes.h
| | |--project (property externals: repos/project/trunk)
|- project
| |--trunk
| |--tags
...
Hope this helps
Andreas
