RE: Overwrite a file without history

Sorry I didn't explain it clearly.

I have files that I want to version and other files that are generated
automatically and for these last ones I don't want to keep the history.

but your whole intent is to not store the history, so why would it matter if
webdav supported versioning?

Thanks Talden,

You clarified my doubts. What about using Webdav instead of secure FTP? I
think webdav also supports versioning?

I hope not.

This sounds like an example of using the wrong tool for the job.
Subversions explicit intention is to capture all changes in a
retrievable manner. Providing a means to subvert this just opens a
door to the risk of lost content.

I guess what you really want is secure FTP to a central store
somewhere so you can push to file there for shared access rather than
into a Subversion repository. If the image is used by an automated
process (eg a build process) then perhaps the build script should be
pulling the most recent file from FTP.
