Question

I have a SVN source controlled project which contains some generation scripts that require changes so they apply to the particular machine. However, I don’t want to ever check these files back in. Is there some sort of client side ignore mechanism available in the AnkhSVN client that will prevent me from accidentally checking in these changes?

Answer 1

I tried using some different terms and finally ran across this article:

Adding files to the ignore-on-commit changelist affects all clients so regardless of how you make this change it will apply to both Tortoise and AnkhSVN. Also, this doesn’t have any effects on the repo itself so you won’t be stepping on any toes if someone else on the project does need to make alterations to these files.
