Synchronous versions of a file in svn

I'm looking for a way to have two synchronous versions of a source file in svn. It is simply about having additional comments (with a marker) in one file and not having them in another. For example, consider a file with this content:

// a comment
// <marker> some additional info
... code ...

I need to have a second version of this file which should look like this:

// a comment
... code ...

The simplest way I can get this second version is by running a post-processing (e.g. grep) on the file after it has been taken from the source control. However, this way any changes made to the file afterwards are difficult to merge back.

If I make a separate branch in svn for the second version, I know I'll have a lot of fun with manually merging changes back and forth, as there is no support for synchronous branches.

Is there a simple solution I missed? Could it be easier to achieve with another VCS such as git?

Strip the additional info in your build process and only have 1 version in source control. As far as I know There exists no source control system which will allow this.
