Script for adding all new files in a SVN repository

When working with revision controlled stuff you sometimes add loads of new files to an already existing repository. Then when you are about to check in the next revision you have forgotten where all the new files are and you probably don’t feel like writing svn add thefile too many times. This is of course no problem if you’r using a decent SVN client – like Tortoise SVN on Windows – but I prefer the command line so the solution was writing a script that adds all new files in a directory structure to the SVN repository.

There are “one liners” for this but I wanted a bit more flexibility and ease of use so I wrote the a script that also lets you define regexp patterns for files you don’t want to add even if they exist in the directory structure.

This is how to use it:

7 lines of Bash
  1. # Add all new files
  2. svnadd path/to/repository/
  3. # Add all new files except those matching the regexp
  4. svnadd -s ".*.txt|tmp/.*" path/to/repository/
  5. # Add all new files except those matching the regexp in
  6. # the file defined by the "-f" flag
  7. svnadd -f regexp.txt path/to/repository/

Quite easy! If you don’t feel like remembering the pattern for files to skip, put the regexp in a file and use the svn add thefile flag.
