Bash: run 'svn rm' on all deleted files
When you use rm
to delete a bunch of files in a subversion repo, and you run svn status
, you get a bunch of lines like this:
! path/to/file.cc
! path/to/file.cc
! path/to/file.cc
If you try to commit in this state, the deletions won't actually go through - you have to run svn rm
on all those files. But why do it manually for each file? Just use this:
svn status | grep ! | awk '{print $2}' | while read line ; do svn rm $line; done
When you run just svn status | grep ! | awk '{print $2}'
, you get a list of all file names that have been deleted from disk but not removed from the repo. The last part just iterates over all the files and runs svn rm
on them.
