SVN Hijack a configuration file

Question

I need the clearcase's hijack functionality in svn. I need this to change ONLY LOCALY some configuration files. How to do this preventing the commit from all users? Thanks

If you have administrator privileges, you can define a new property, say site:nocommit. When set, you can have your pre-commit hook reject this file.

Personally, I think this is much better than "silent" solutions suggested by others.
