I've handled this by making the property file names configurable, eg as a
command line argument to the build process. We then keep the standard
uat/prod etc config files in cvs. Developers then have their own versions
but with a different name. So long as they don't try and add them to the
respository cvs ignores them, just displaying a question mark next to them
when you run an update.
