Subversion 1.5 introduced changelists and I wanted to use this feature to group a change for later and continue to work on other files. The problem is that the subversion commands like svn diff
and svn commit
work on all modified files. I can limit the files they operate on if I specify a changelist with the --changelist
option. But how can I limit the operations to files that are in no changelist at all?
For example: file1
and file2
are both modified. file1
is in the changelist A
and file2
is in no changelist.
If I do svn diff --changelist A
I see the diff for file1
.
But if I do svn diff
I see the diff for file1
and file2
.
How do I manage to see a diff of just file2
, i.e. of all the files that are not part of a changelist?
I am using Subversion 1.6 (in case this makes a difference).

Sorry, subversion doesn't have a syntax to express that yet.
There are some ideas to allow a --changelist "" syntax, but that isn't implemented yet.

If you're interested in doing this in a graphical environment, SmartSVN (cross-platform) can do this for you. Their free version is quite full-featured, too.
David Kemp : But then, so does tortoiseSVN
