If you want to prevent people from committing changes to a file, you can do that by writing an appropriate pre-commit hook. You can't prevent people from changing files in their own working copies, but you can at least prevent those changes from getting committed into the repository. > For a file like this, I would like the > .svn/text-base/*.svn-base file to *not* be created. There is no option for this to happen, though it has been requested before: http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=525 There is also the request to allow the text-base to be stored compressed, which would also help a lot with disk space on the client side: http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=908
