You know how Subversion stores a copy of every file it has checked-out in the hidden .svn folders? The website I’m building is pretty big (has over 1Gig of PDF files). These PDF files will very rarely change throughout the existence of the website.

I was wondering if there was a way of telling Subversion that it shouldn’t store a local revision copy of a certain set of files (my PDF files) but just sync with the server whenever a change is made to any of these files?

    Subversion uses the version in the .svn folders to be able to diff the new file against the old file, and send just the differences to the subversion server.

    So no, there’s no way to not have the files inside the .svn folders, that still allows you to commit these files
