There is no feature like that in Subversion.

The recommendations I have seen are to create a template file that
your developers copy and customize and that your build/deploy just
copies. Then the template file is versioned, and the "real" file is
not versioned (and added to svn:ignore so that it does not become
versioned).

It does not work for every scenario, but it can work.
