title: Subversion: ignore modifications to a file locally on one client only
body: <p>Is it possible to ignore changes to a file in subversion locally on one client only, without propagating the ignore to the whole repository?</p>
  
  <p>The particular problem I'm dealing with is that I've checked out a project and modified a bunch of files including the Makefile, which is already part of the repository. Now the environment I'm working on is different from the rest of the group, and I want the changes to the Makefiles to remain local on my machine and not be committed.</p>
  
  <p>However, I don't want to set svn:ignore because that I believe would commit the ignore to the repository, while it is important to keep the make file there.</p>
