Native commands¶
-
Produce a patch file of changes committed in revision 1377:
$ svn diff -r 1376:1377 > diff.patch
-
Merge revision
3403
of the trunk into the “1.0” branch:$ cd branches/1.0 $ svn merge -c3403 https://svn.example.com/my_project/trunk $ svn commit -m "Merge r3403 into the 1.0 branch."
-
Revert current local folder to revision 666:
$ svn merge -rHEAD:666 ./
-
Create an empty repository:
$ svnadmin create ./my-repo
-
Dump a repository (a sure way to migrate a subversion repository from one version to another):
$ svnadmin dump ./my-repo > ./my-repo.dmp
-
Migrate a remote Subversion repository without creating an intermediate dump file:
$ ssh -C [email protected] "svnadmin dump /home/user/my-repo" | svnadmin load /home/user2/my-new-repo
-
Launch a standalone Subversion server listening on port 3690 and serving all repositories located in
./repos/
:$ svnserve --daemon --listen-port 3690 --root ./repos/
Local working copy hacking¶
-
Recursive and case insensitive content search on non-binary files from the current folder, while ignoring
.svn
folders and their content:$ find ./ -type f -not -regex ".*\/.svn\/.*" -exec grep -Iil "string to search" {} \;
-
Same thing as above but with an alternative approach (that don’t work with large folder content):
$ grep -Ii "string to search" $(find . | grep -v .svn)
Other alternative: use ack.
-
Use
sed
to replace text in all files except in subversion metadatas:$ find ./ -type f -not -regex ".*\/.svn\/.*" -print -exec sed -i 's/str1/str2/g' "{}" \;
-
Use
svn delete
to remove all files containing a tilde in their name without touching local subversion metadatas:$ find -type f -not -regex ".*\/.svn\/.*" -name "*˜*" -print -exec svn delete "{}" \;
-
In a repository structure containing sub-projects (thinks of Plone’s collective repository as an example), get the list of all folders in all trunks, while ignoring subversion metadata folders:
$ find ./ -type d -regex ".*\/trunk\/?.*" -not -regex ".*\/.svn\/?.*" -print
-
Similarly to the command above, replace all occurrences of the string
@coolcavemen.fr
by@coolcavemen.com
in alltrunk
subfolders while ignoring.svn
content:$ find ./ -type f -regex ".*\/trunk\/.*" -not -regex ".*\/.svn\/.*" -print -exec sed -i 's/@coolcavemen\.fr/@coolcavemen\.com/g' "{}" \;
-
Set a svn property to ignore all
.mo
files during commit in every folder of our local working copy containing.po
files:$ find ./ -type f -name "*.po" -regex ".*\/trunk\/.*" -not -regex ".*\/.svn\/.*" -printf "%h\n" | uniq | xargs svn propset "svn:ignore" "*.mo"
