svn not ignoring files

[Mansour <ma...@yahoo.com>]

Hello,
I have checked out a project and did the modification I need. However, 
one of the files is for the production envorenment and I don't need to 
check in these modification. The files name is configurations.php. So I 
added this file to svn:ignore list. And when I did a commet all the 
modification were checked in. Is there any way that I can roll these 
changes out and prevent this from happening again?

I want to be able to extract the diff and take the patch to the 
production (live) server to apply it there. I am new to svn through the 
shell, but I have been using it for a while through eclipse.

Thank you.

Then I suppose configurations.php was already in the repository;  
svn:ignore is only for ignoring files that are not in the repository.  
You may want to consider not having configurations.php in the  
repository; instead, put a template in the repository called  
configurations.php.tmpl that users can copy to an unversioned file  
configurations.php and modify, and then you svn:ignore  
configurations.php so that it doesn't get committed to the  
repository. See:

Once a file is in the repository, you can't ignore it.

Have a look at this: http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#ignore-commit
