SVN: How can I list all the files in a changelist in Subversion?

Question

How can a get a list of files in an SVN changelist with NO information except the file list?

I want a listing of files in a changelist in a format that I can use in Bash's $(). I start with svn st --cl 3011, which lists the files but with a lot of extra junk:

Performing status on external item at 'foo'

? foo/bar

Performating status on external item at 'foo/bar'

--- Changelist '3011':

M src/math/math.cc

A src/math/determinant.cc

A src/math/determinant.h

M src/math/matrix.h

That's a lot of info to try and get sed or awk to parse through, and I'm worried I'll mess it up and end up missing a file in the changelist or adding stuff that's not in the changelist. -q doesn't help much.

Is there any way get svn to just give me src/math/math.cc src/math/determinant.cc src/math/determinant.h src/math/matrix.h?

Thanks, Ian

Answer 1

This will do:

svn st --changelist 3011 | grep -v Changelist | cut -b 3-

svn st --changelist will print the name of the changelist plus the status of the files and the file names:

--- Changelist 'cl_name':
M       file1
A       file2

Now you edit this by first deleting the first line with a "grep -v Changelist", which deletes the line with the word Changelist. Then do a "cut -b 3-" to delete the first few characters of each line.

With the full command, you get:

 file1
 file2

Answer 2

Use --ignore-externals and --cl!

You don't need to use any external tools like grep or awk. This is actually pretty simple!

The command --ignore-externals removes all the extra junk from the svn status call, and you can easily merge that with --cl parameter too:

svn st --ignore-externals --cl "Changelist Name"

That will ignore all externals, and then give you just the files in the changelist you ask for.
