Files in repository without versioning?

[Thomas Becker <Th...@Ziemann-Urban.de>]

Hallo

My project includes some dynamically build files (*.obj).
These files will be updated every time the project is
compiled (before the linking process starts).

My problem is that I need these files to start the compiler.

In general this is not a problem, as I have a copy of all
the needed files.

But when I checkout my project these files are missing.

Is there a way to include these files in the repository,
so that they are copied to a target computer? But they should
not be versioned any longer.
It is of no use to get a new revision only by compiling.


thx
Tom Becker

No, it is against Subversion's design to throw out previous versions of 
a file whenever it is committed; either it's version-controlled or it's not.

If you want them included in the repository, you'll need to remove the 
appropriate entry from your svn:ignore property or the global ignore 
definition for your svn client.

If I get you right, you just need any old copy of the obj
files  to be present in a fresh checkout.

Not as such, but I think you could get away with a mix of a
checked out tree of source code, and an exported set of obj
files.

In other words: copy the directories and obj files to a
seperate directory, then import this directory as a seperate
"objfiles" branch. When doing an initial checkout of your
source code, follow that up with an export of the "objfiles"
branch, and you should have the right mix of files.

Hope this makes sense,

Preben
