I'm pretty sure that you can't remove a file from version control once it is under control. There is definitely no specified means to do so. And the properties on the file don't alone don't govern whether the document is under version control as there are entries in the version DB tables, etc, so you probably wouldn't be able to make it un-version controlled without hacking the slide server.
Jussi, what's the metadata that you want to be able to change on the document without checking it in /out?
