How to update the svn properties but not all files of a folder

In my coding environment I've got a dev, test and production machine. Sometimes I have to add files to svn:ignore for all machines. But if I want to update these properties, I have to make an update on a whole folder instead of only some stable files.

"Dump log to visually appealing document" tool for Subversion?

I'm considering switching from Subversion to Mercurial with a few repositories whose revision history I don't need at everyday work, but which would be nice to store in some kind of document - as proof of activity for the clients, as a quick way to look something up without having to dig in backup copies, etc. I'm thinking about a progr...

How can I preserve Subversion commit messages across merges?

Hi All, Is there any Subversion that can create a commit message containing a list of all the commit messages used in a merge?

Can I destroy a directory from svn history that differs only on case sensitivity?

(com.foo.PackageName) and then renamed them correctly (com.foo.packagename). Allow me to reiterate based on reading some of the responses. We have an existing "com.foo.packagename" that...
