Svn list of files that are modified in the local copy

Question

I use the Tortoise client to check / commit changes to SVN. But I found this a bit difficult because I cannot find a list of all the files that have been changed in my local copy. Is there a short cut or something that I missed?

I am new to SVN. Fyi.

Answer 1

The Check Changes command in the turtle displays a list of all changed files in the working copy. "Commit" will also show all modified files (which you can then commit). "Revert" will also display the modified files (which can then be returned).

Answer 2

I am not familiar with the turtle, but with subversion on linux I would print

svn status 

Some search queries tell me that the turtle also supports the command line command, try the svn status in the folder containing the svn repository.

Answer 3

I could not get svn status -q to work. Assuming you are in a linux window, to see only the files that have been modified, run: svn status | grep 'M ' svn status | grep 'M ' On the windows, I'm not sure what you would do, maybe something with "FindStr"

Answer 4

The below command will only display modfied files on Windows.

 svn status | findstr "^M" 

Answer 5

If you really want to list only the changed files , you can reduce the output of svn st to the leading "M", which indicates that the file has been modified. I would do it like this:

 svn st | grep ^M 

Answer 6

svn status | grep 'M ' svn status | grep 'M ' works fine on MacOSX.

I just tested this.

Answer 7

this should do it on windows: svn stat | find "M"

Answer 8

Svn status | grep ^ M will list files that have been modified. M - means change :)

Answer 9

If you want only the file names and also want all the files to be added (A).

 svn st | grep ^[AM] | cut -c9- 

Note. The first 7 columns have one character wide, followed by a space, and then a file name.

Answer 10

Right-click the folder -> Click Tortoise SVN -> Check Changes

Answer 11

As said, you should use SVN Check for modification in the GUI and tortoiseproc.exe /command:repostatus /path:"<path-to-version-control-file-or-directory>" in the CLI to see the root related changes <path-to-version-control-file-or-directory> .

Unfortunately, but this command does not display ALL local changes; it shows only those changes that are related to the requested directory root. Changes made separately, such as offline checks or external orphans in the root directory, will be shown as "Unversioned" or "Nested", and you may miss their commit / search.

To avoid this condition, you need to either call tortoiseproc.exe /command:repostatus /pathfile:"<path-to-file-with-list-of-items-to-lookup-from>" (see the detailed documentation in the command line: https://tortoisesvn.net/docs/nightly/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-automation.html ) or use some 3dparty applications / utilities / scripts to transfer the call.

I wrote my own set of scripts for Windows to automate calls from Total Commander : https://sf.net/p/contools/contools/HEAD/tree/trunk/Scripts/Tools/ToolAdaptors/totalcmd/README_EN.txt (search TortoiseSVN )

- Opens the TortoiseSVN status dialog box for a set of WC directories (always opens to display unversioned changes).

 Command: call_nowindow.vbs Arguments: tortoisesvn\TortoiseProcByNestedWC.bat /command:repostatus "%P" %S 

- opens TortoiseSVN commit dialogs for a set of WC directories (opens only if it does not have empty versions with a version).

 Command: call_nowindow.vbs Arguments: tortoisesvn\TortoiseProcByNestedWC.bat /command:commit "%P" %S 

See README_EN.txt more details (you need to execute configure.bat before use and copy the rest of the scripts to yourself, for example call_nowindow.vbs ).
