Question

I have an external subversion repository, which is empty now. Let’s call it http://www.example.com/svn

From my local machine, where my working directory is, I’d like to export only defined files (not whole project) to the repository. I created a text file “svn-list.txt” where I store a list of files to synchronize.

How do I do something like:

svn import -m "Importing" --targets svn-list.txt . http://www.example.com/svn

Of course –targets param doesn’t exist for import.

Answer 1

use svn add to add files of svn-list.txt to version control and schedul them for next commit

use svn propset svn:ignore to ignore files that are not in your svn-list.txt

use svn commit to commit everiything to the repository
