Committing file deletions to svn repository whilst ignoring some other local mods
- by TheJuice
I have svn repository where I have scheduled some files and folders to be moved in the repository with svn mv. I also have some files that are peers of the files to be moved that have local modifications of which I only want a subset of those files to be committed along with the moves.
e.g. the output of svn st would look like:
D foo/bar
D foo/bar/a.txt
D foo/bar/b.txt
M foo/exclude.txt
M foo/include.txt
A foo/whiz/bar
A + foo/whiz/bar/c.txt
A + foo/whiz/bar/d.txt
To commit to the moves to the repository, I would need to perform the commit on foo but that would also commit the modifications to foo/exclude.txt and foo/include.txt. How would I commit only the deletions/additions as a result of the move plus the mods to foo/include.txt whilst excluding foo/exclude.txt?
I have a feeling the answer lies with the --depth argument to svn ci but it's not clear to me how it will operate.
