How do I remove a file from SVN version control?
- It has previously been committed by someone unintentionally.
- It is a needed local file, but different for everyone, and needs not be in version control.
- If I delete & commit, it will delete the file for everyone.
- I cannot add a file to
svn:ignore
while it is in the repo. - If I remotely remove & locally ignore & commit, it would work, but I cannot commit because I would have to update first, but if I update, the file is removed.
I would like to remove & ignore this file so it doesn't need to be always manually removed from every commit for everyone, without it being deleted locally at anyone.
