Ignore development changes.

Hi Everyone,
I am just after some advice on how other people solve the following issue.

I have a committed file.
When it is deployed, it needs to be in a state (lets call it state 1)
While testing code locally, it needs to be in some other state (state 2)

Short of altering the code to read like;
if on dev server
    have state 1
else
    have state 2
fi

How can I have a local change,
but have "that" change temporarily ignored?

My initial thought is to use the svn:ignore
But that brings about the issue of, out of mind out sight... and if I ever need to do "real" changes to that file, they won't be picked up in svn status.

The answer is quite likely not even a SVN once - but perhaps a procedure / system one.

I am open to any and all suggestions of how people might solve this issue for themselves already.
And as always - thanks for any ideas you might have.
