During our internal development we have a special VS plug-in that mucks around with the AssemblyInfo.cs file during the build.

The result was that the check-in window for tortoisesvn was quickly filling up with changed AssemblyInfo.cs files no one ever wants to check-in.

This problem is “described”:http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#ignore-commit in the Subversion FAQ.

My workaround:

• Rename AssemblyInfo.cs to AssemblyInfo.cs.template in the Subversion repository

• Add a batch file named “prebuild.bat” to the root of the project, with the following contents:

copy %1\Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs.template %1\Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs

• Add a Pre-build event to the project:

call "$(ProjectDir)prebuild.bat" "$(ProjectDir)"

• Add a subversion ignore (svn:ignore) for AssemblyInfo.cs
