Ignoring files in working copy only

We have a web site checked in to Subversion which includes some
behind-the-scenes config files. When I make changes to this site, I
first test those changes in a development directory.

The development version of these config files point to a development
MySQL database, but the production version of course points to the
production database. So every time I want to commit changes from the
development area, svn sees these config files as modified, but I don't
want to check those changes in.

Is there some clever way to get svn to not notice these changes in the
development working copy? Currently I have to explicitly specify each
file I want to commit so it doesn't pick up the unwanted changes as
well. I guess I could write a shell script to temporarily swap out the
config files if nothing else. Has an "exclude" option to "commit" or
"status" ever been considered?
