Question

I saw that in Joomla every time they release a new update. it only contain the file that have been change from the last release with the same directory structure.
So I have a SVN server. And I have modified something in the SVN and now I want to create the update path like Joomla how can I do that?

Thanks, for Your Answer!!!

Using TortoiseSVN in Windows you can follow these steps (copy&pasted from this source):

1. Using TortoiseSVN, right-click on your working folder and select “Show Log” from the TortoiseSVN menu.
2. Click the revision that was last published (#85 in this example)
3. Ctrl+Click the HEAD revision (or whatever revision you want to release ie #178) so that both the old and the new revisions are highlighted.
4. Right-click on either of the highlighted revisions and select “Compare revisions.” This will open a dialog window that lists all new/modified files.
5. Select all files from this list (Ctrl+a) then right-click on the highlighted files and select “Export selection to…”

For use in Linux I have found a script creating the whole directory structure based on the output of this line:

svn diff -r <revision_number>:HEAD --summarize <working_directory>

The script can be found here.
