If you use TortoiseSVN subversion client, the commit pop-up screen allow you to check/uncheck what folders/files to commit. You can simply uncheck the .mak file.
In SVN , a user is forced to "Checkout" the entire directory containing a source file even though he wants to modify only one file.
Assume a VB project containing .frm, .bas and .frx & .mak files. When user checks out the entire project and makes changes to just .bas file , and uses the VB project properties to configure the build, the .mak file invariably gets updated and becomes a checked out item. When user tries to commit his changes..both *.bas & .mak files get commited to the repository.
Suggestions..anyone ???
