Exclude Certain Files From An SVN Commit

05.22.2007

| 8523 views |

svn st | grep M | egrep -v routes | awk -F' ' '{ print $2}' | xargs svn ci -m "blah"

# where egrep -v routes is replaced with all the crap you don't wanna commit

ie - egrep -v routes | egrep -v this | egrep -v that

# I can write a script that takes those expressions as command-line options to make it easier if you're interested.. or we can write it together.. we can do it in ruby!

One bug I noticed with this snippet is that the first grep should only look for the M at the beginning of the line: svn st | grep "^M" | ... It should also be clarified that this only commit modified files (and not modified, deleted, etc.)
