svn:ignore an existing file

[GF <ga...@gmail.com>]

Hello everyone.
I've two question about svn:ignore

1) I've a file that MUST exist in the repository in its "default"
version, but i don't want that people to commit any local change to
it. Is there a way to have this behaviour with svn:ignore?
I mean that with "svn co ..." that file will be checked out as it is
in the repository, but any local change to it will not be included of
any "svn commit ..."

2) If the file i wish to ignore starts with a dot (for example
.myfile) should I use some escaping of the dot in the svn:ignore
property?

Thank You.

Then forget svn:ignore - it doesn't apply to versioned files.

You could lock the file in each branch where it occurs, or set the 
svn:lock property, to make it more difficult for others to tamper with 
it. But in my experience, with TortoiseSVN, people will simply click all 
the dialog boxes to steal/grab locks they get. The better resolution is 
to stop the temptation to edit such files: offer an alternative or 
unversion it.

The real answer here is don't version that file... version a .template of it. Having a file in the working copy that is changed but you can't commit is a thorn in the side of using it. Check out the FAQ.

You may try out the pre-commit hook + svnlook changed command.
These might be help !
