Question

Is there a simple way to accept the working copy “as is” in Subversion? I would like to have the “unknown” files denoted by ? to be added, missing files to be deleted and changed files commited.

Answer 1

a svn commit would commit the modified files, but for:

• the deleted files, you need first (before the commit) a command like

    $ svn status | grep '^\!' | sed 's/! *//' | xargs -I% svn rm %

• the files added (with spaces in them):

   $ svn status | grep "^\?" | sed -e 's/? *//' | sed -e 's/ /\\ /g' | xargs svn add

On recent SVN you could just svn add --force * (it is recursive)
