Re: checkout-only files with svn - How?

Thanks Ryan!

>>> FAQ >>>
I have a file in my project that every developer must change, but I
don't want those local mods to ever be committed. How can I make 'svn
commit' ignore the file?

The answer is: don't put that file under version control. Instead, put a
template of the file under version control, something like "file.tmpl".
Then, after the initial 'svn checkout', have your users (or your build
system) do a normal OS copy of the template to the proper filename, and
have users customize the copy. [...]
<<< FAQ <<<

This is, however, exactly what I don't want my users to have to do :-(
The files are actually the project files of the build environment, so I
can't let the build system do the template copy (as it would not start
without them). And extra run-me-after-first-checkout-scripts would be
kind of tedious, as they had to be developed for many different platforms.

I understand that I am currently lost here. However, are there any plans
to add a feature such as a "svn:checkout-only" property to svn?

Have fun!

Daniel
