SVN: locally ignore files when updating

Question

Hi, I would like to delete/change some file in my local SVN repository and then SVN not to try update them while doing update (just for me on my local machine). I have to test one specific bug with this customers data, but it 12GB of them. So I would like to exchange some of DB file with dummy (empty with correct structure (MDB)) files. And I want SVN to ignore these files while doing updates (especially not to bother me with conflicts).

Is this possible?

Thx, Milan

Answer 1

You must add the file to the parent directory's svn:ignore property. If you're using tortoisesvn there should be a menu option to "Add to ignore list" or something similar. documentation link: http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-ignore.html

Answer 2

This is not possible. However, you can selectively update all other files.
