Subversion – Add / Remove Multiple Files at same Time

Working within frameworks like Symfony you may find yourself having to add/remove multiple files at a time (adding a new module) to/from a symfony repository. Instead of doing per file, use one of the following commands:


svn remove $(svn status | grep '^\!' | sed 's/^\! *//' | xargs) #remove multiple files

svn add $(svn status | grep '^\?' | sed 's/^\? *//' | xargs) #add multiple files

Subversion – Auto Versioning (WebDAV) – Viewing Previous Revisions

Out of the box, Subversion does not support the ability to view previous revisions via a web browser, however if you enable ‘Auto Versioning’ (aka WebDAV), this feature will be available to you.

For more information on setting up WebDAV for Subversion check out: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.2/svn.webdav.autoversioning.html

If you do have WebDAV functionality enabled, you can view previous revisions by using the following url construct as a guide:

http://svn.somedomain.com/repos/!svn/bc/14

’14′ in the above example represents revision 14.

Subversion – FSFS vs Berkeley DB

I was attempting to compile subversion on my shared web hosting server and it finished with the following message:

You don’t seem to have Berkeley DB version 4.0.14 or newer installed and linked to APR-UTIL.  We have created Makefiles which will build without the Berkeley DB back-end; your repositories will use FSFS as the default back-end.  You can find the latest version of Berkeley DB here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/berkeley-db/index.html

At first glance this appears to be a bad thing… wtf is FSFS and why is subversion making a big deal about not using Berkeley DB as the backend? After some googling I came across a site outlining the benefits of FSFS over Berkeley DB and found it to be an interesting read, if you get time you should check it out.

Subversion is an open source version control software app heavily used in the software dev world. I know there are 43 million other sites that have basically the same information, but I tried hard to reduce the amount of fluff and just get down to the nitty gritty.

Initial Import (adding existing code to svn repo)

svn import /path/to/src http://svn.example.com --message="Initial Import"

Diff – Discounting whitespace

svn diff -x -w

Diff – Discounting whitespace – Listing only files that are diff (not the changes)

svn diff -x -w | fgrep +++

Commit (must be in working copy dir)

svn commit -m "Your commit message"

Delete

svn delete http://svn.example.com/file/to/be/deleted

Add

svn add http://fqdn/file/to/be/added

Revert (ALL working copy files)

 svn revert -R .

Revert (Single working copy file)

svn revert -R /path/to/file/filename.php

Merge (Dry run)

svn merge --dry-run -r 23:HEAD http://svn.example.com/branches/maint/web

Merge

svn merge -r 23:HEAD http://svn.example.com/branches/maint/web

Move

svn move /path/to/dir/you/want/to/move /path/where/you/want/dir/to/go
