I think it was BOb who gave an answer for that one... What I do is to svn:ignore the file itself, then check in a default version with a different filename (e.g. extra `.tmpl` extension) and provide some sort of `initialisation` script that can be used on fresh checkout to copy the template file(s) to the right name(s) for use.

For exmaple, I have several .ini files to target different servers (development, test, site1, site2 etc) all checked in with the actual .ini file name ignored. I then copy the right one for what I want to the right name. The different ini fils are then versioned in the repo.
