Question

I need to do a number of svn updates on a server. Is it possible to do an svn update without moving into that directory?

Just trying to keep things tidy instead of cd’ing around all over the server 🙂

Thank you in advance

Answer 1

Yes, just

svn update /path/to/dir/to/update

Works just fine. There’s no need to be in the directory when updating it.

Likewise, you can update individual files.

svn update /path/to/dir/to/update/config.ini

(tested on Subversion 1.6.17)
