title: SVN: How do I maintain my local config.blah file?
body: <p>On the SVN server, there is a file called <code>config.conf</code>. I have a local version called the same thing (in the same place). <strong>How can I make sure that my local config does not get overwritten, nor checked in?</strong> </p>
  
  <p>While I'm here, is the answer different for a directory?</p>
  
  <p>I'm using Tortoise SVN, but command line answers are cool.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
  
  <p>[Sorry if this basic question has been asked before... I looked but didn't find it.]</p>
