What will be committed?

Question

For the first time I had to commit something in SVN from the command line and I realized that I actually don't know, what would get committed. So far I've been using TortoiseSVN so that was easy. And by "will get committed" I mean when I use svn commit without specifying files explicitly.

My first guess was svn status but this shows me a lot of files, including ignored ones and others so not all of them will be committed.

Then there's svn diff which probably does what I need but is way too verbose.

So I guess what I'm looking for is svn status -q?

1. Does svn status -q list ALL and ONLY files which will get committed?
2. Does svn diff list exactly the same files, just with all the changes in them?

Answer 1

Well svn status -q prints only essential information while performing an operation. That is, if there are new files in your project that you didn't yet add to the svn repo, svn status -q will not print those files and you can end up by forgetting to do svn add on those files.

svn diff will display local modification in a working copy.

Regarding This, the answer to both of your questions are yes and yes
