We have a project that references files in a Common-directory. Whenever that project is opened or compiled, these files are copied. Because the timestamp changes, Subversion sees that as changes. I only want to commit new changes of the general Common-directory, or actual changes in the project. Not the auto-copies that the compiler performs for me.
How do I keep the directory and the files in SVN, but prevent these non-changes to be seen as changes? Is there some “best practice” or “preferred” way of dealing with such situations?
Typically, you don’t want to put compiler-generated anything into your repository. Use svn:ignore to ignore these things.
