In that case, I'd say that your workflow is flawed. The frontend I use gives
you means to get a diff from the checkin dialog and a list of checkers to
select which files to check in at all. Looking at the changes you made before
checking them in and possibly backing out is what you should get used to.

Nonetheless, here's a hack for you:
 
  svn move important.config important.config.nocheckin
  mv important.config.nocheckin important.config

If you try to check this in, Subversion will complain because the file it was
looking for was simply not there. Use 'svn revert' to revert this. Regarding
configfiles which are customised anyway, we rather commit a template only
which the user can then copy to the real location.
