In Tortoisesvn, how can I ignore a file without unversionioning it ?
I mean the file is actually a part of the repository (versioned), but it is just that I have changed it locally (kind of local db settings u can say) and I do not want it to show up in the list everytime I do Commit.
So basically I need to do settings which would impact only my local working.
Excluding Items from the Commit List
Sometimes you have versioned files that change frequently but that you really don't want to commit. Sometimes this indicates a flaw in your build process - why are those files versioned? should you be using template files? But occasionally it is inevitable. A classic reason is that your IDE changes a timestamp in the project file every time you build. The project file has to be versioned as it includes all the build settings, but it doesn't need to be committed just because the timestamp changed.
To help out in awkward cases like this, we have reserved a changelist called ignore-on-commit. Any file added to this changelist will automatically be unchecked in the commit dialog. You can still commit changes, but you have to select it manually in the commit dialog.
Right click on your modified file and click SVN commit... to open up commit dialog. Inside commit dialog, right click your file > Move to change list > ignore-on-commit.
Now your file will show up unchecked in commit dialog.
