I would like to delete/change some file in my local SVN repository and then SVN not to try update them while doing update (just for me on my local machine). I have to test one specific bug with this customers data, but it 12GB of them. So I would like to exchange some of DB file with dummy (empty with correct structure (MDB)) files. And I want SVN to ignore these files while doing updates (especially not to bother me with conflicts).

Is this possible?

Thx, Milan

This is not possible. However, you can selectively update all other files.

You must add the file to the parent directory's svn:ignore property. If you're using tortoisesvn there should be a menu option to "Add to ignore list" or something similar. documentation link: http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-ignore.html

  • It's not just locally but it is kind of the correct answer, as that's the only way to do it right now. Imho it ought to be possible to do a global ignore on a single folder but it isn't right now, as the link Phil posted demonstrates. – Stephen Kennedy Jan 05 '12 at 12:50
