Question

this .

Answer 1

If you set a property with svn propset (adding to ignore list folder /help):

svn propset svn:ignore help

You can use --depth flag when running svn commit:

svn ci --depth=immediates

This will skip modifications made in files.You can also play with other values for --depth .

UPDATE

According to docs --depth=immediates limit the scope of operation to the target and any immediate children thereof . So, it's better to use

svn ci --depth=empty modified_target_folder

which limits the scope of operation to specified target only.
