check in a file without merge

[hce <we...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have a file I would like to check it in without merging the old
contents when someone check it out. How can I do it?

I can only think of using this file as a binary file, can the svn add
a binary using -b like cvs?

Thank you.

Jim

If you commit a file, the contents will always be exactly that which you 
committed when someone checks it out. Of course, SVN won't discard local 
modifications, which have to be discarded explicitly and willingly by the 
user.

That said, I don't really understand what you want to achieve. If you'd 
describe what you want to achieve instead of saying how this unknown goal 
should be achieve you might get a better answer.

Please read the documentation about how SVN handles binary files.
