Going to try and check into that later today. But if it does remove it from everybody elses checkouts i dont know a way to prevent that.. i searched a good while to simple find out how to keep a local copy :) I actually havent tested what happens with multiple people… my initial thought would be that its simply marked to be removed .. but the keep local could be a local operation not helping other people using the repository.

Will their copy be deleted completely or just removed from SVN? I did a quick test, and it looks like SVN marks the file for deletion, regardless if you choose to keep a local copy - causing anyone else's copy to be removed completely when they do an update. Is there a way to simply remove a file from SVN control, but have everyone's copy kept local? thanks Michael What happens if you choose to SVN Delete (Keep Local) and someone else does an update?

I did a quick test, and it looks like SVN marks the file for deletion, regardless if you choose to keep a local copy – causing anyone else’s copy to be removed completely when they do an update.

Is there a way to simply remove a file from SVN control, but have everyone’s copy kept local?

thanks
Michael

You want to delete the file locally but NOT have it there under SVN control ? Well you can of course just delete the file, and it will be gone until next svn update. You can ignore files from svn, but not the way you are asking (afaik). But you could easily just delete the file and it will be gone until next checkout :) Does that help you ?

If you just delete the files directly after checkout, svn naturally will want to check them out again on synchronization, so that's not the way to go. Is there a svn:ignore type thing but at checkout rather than checkin? What if you want to do the reverse: keep the file under svn control but delete the local files?
