Question

We have a repository with several files (no folders). Each build time we have to download the same folder from another source (db), then commit to SVN changes – update existing, remove not existed and add new files.

So idea is to have ‘copy’ of db’s scripts in SVN each build (that’s why MSBuild is used)

Problem is that I don’t know analog of hg‘s addremove – which automatically synchronize two folders.

does anyone know how addremove can be simulated?

Answer 1

I personally have a little bash script to do that (being on linux):

svn status | grep "^\?" | gawk '{print $2}' | xargs -r svn add
svn status | grep "^\!" | gawk '{print $2}' | xargs -r svn remove

EDIT: Thanks to cesar, here’s a simpler version:

svn status | gawk '/^\?.*/ {print $2}' | xargs -r svn add
svn status | gawk '/^\!.*/ {print $2}' | xargs -r svn remove
