When you say it is ignored, > does it mean it is on svn ? The subversion book explains svn:ignore better than I will:- http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.advanced.props.special.ignore.html In summary: this is a way to tell svn to ignore a file (or filename pattern) when looking for files to check-in. Hence the file itself is not in the repo, but your template version(s) is (are). > And what is this script that would trigger on checkout ? That would be (for me, on windows) a simple batch file (that is also checked in) that the user knows to run. > Can you explain it again ? Does that help? ~ mark c
