Message Subversion only versions trees, not individual files. So you might want to add one or more top-level folders for these different files so that they can each be versioned independently. You could just configure the svn:ignore property on the folders so that files in the same folder that you do not want versioned are ignored.

Alternatively, you might add a folder in your app for all these files so that they can be edited and versioned with the app itself. You would then need a separate process to use svn export or svn cat command to extract the file from the repository when it changes.

In our case, the files mentioned above are situated in various locations on file servers, together with other stuff. So, there is not a single directory location that could serve as source for the repository upload. I would like to maintain the location structure of these files (because other stuff depends on these locations) and add them to the product's repository at the same time (so that we can go back to older versions when needed).
