Hi buddies.

Is it possible to keep a file that is not part of the repository into the working copy? I mean, the file would be an ignored file, but also will not be eliminated by removing unversioned items.

Thank you very much.

EDIT: With TortoiseSVN, if you hold shift key and then right click a folder on explorer, an extended menu shows. This extended menu has a command to remove unversioned items.

A: 

As far as SVN is concerned an ignored file is an ignored file so if you want to manage some of these files differently you'll need to script it yourself.

I don't know if the 'Delete Unversioned Items' command removes files that are not under version control or in not an svn:ignore list, but if it doesn't you could not ignore the files that you want to persist. If I remember correctly (I don't use Windows anymore), you can get TortoiseSVN to ignore unversioned items when you use the interface to check modifications etc.

Yes, the delete unversioned items command removes files with svn:ignore property. I said persistent ignored file cause I do not want svn to add the file in a check-in (ignored) and I do not want "Delete unversioned Items" command to delete the file.
