svn script to commit a set of deleted files

Question

I've deleted many files from my local copy which were present in different sub directories of main directory. I want to remove all the locally deleted files from my SVN repository also.

If I'm checking the SVN status of my main directory using svn st main_dir then all the deleted files are showing with '!' symbol which means the corresponding files are missing. But those files are not getting removed from my SVN repository even if I commit my changes using svn ci main_dir.

Is there any way or command or script to remove all the locally deleted files of my main directory and sub directories also from my SVN repository. I think we can loop through all the files of each folder and remove the locally deleted files from SVN by checking the corresponding file SVN STATUS('!'), but I don't know how to convert my idea to a script.

Can anybody please help me to finish this task? Thanks in advance ...

Answer 1

for i in $(svn st | grep \! | awk '{print $2}'); do svn delete $i; done

Answer 2

I found xargs easier than the for loop:

svn stat | grep \\! | awk '{print $2}' | xargs svn remove

Answer 3

for i in $(svn st | grep \! | awk '{print $2}'); do svn delete $i'@'; done

For files with @2x in them.
