SVN_LOAD_DIRS(1) General Commands Manual SVN_LOAD_DIRS(1) NAME svn_load_dirs - Load directories into a Subversion repository SYNOPSIS svn_load_dirs [options] svn_url svn_import_dir [directory ...] DESCRIPTION This tool can be used for importing one or more directories into a Sub- version repository. The difference from "svn import" is that svn_load_dirs can update an existing directory tree, and tag it prop- erly. Only changes from the previous version will be recorded in the revision, so that you can easily apply them on another branch. For ex- ample, this is very useful for managing the upstream source when main- taining Debian packages in Subversion. OPTIONS svn_url The base Subversion URL. svn_import_dir The path relative to svn_url where the directories are to be im- ported. directory ... The directories to import. If they are not specified on the com- mand line, they are read from standard input. -no_user_input Don't ask any questions. Assume that the answer is yes. -p filename Apply the properties specified in the configuration file file- name to matching files. See below for a description of the con- figuration file format. -svn_username username Username to use when committing to the repository. -svn_password password Password to use when committing to the repository. -t tag_dir Create a tag copy in tag_dir, relative to svn_url. tag_dir may contain a regular expression enclosed within '@' characters. It will be replaced by the matching part from the imported direc- tory names. -v Be more verbose. Use multiple times for increased effect. -wc path Use the already checked out working copy at path instead of checking out a new working copy. PROPERTY CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT The property configuration file, which is specified by the -p option, contains rules for applying properties to the imported files. It con- sists of lines of the following format: regular_expression control property_name property_value The meaning of the fields are: regular_expression A Perl-style regular expression matching the files to apply this rule to. control Either "break" or "cont". If set to "break", processing of the current file will stop if this rule matches. If set to "cont", processing will continue. The latter can be used to set multiple properties for one file. property_name (Optional) The name of the property to set. property_value (Optional) Set the property to this value. The last two fields may be omitted, in which case the rule will not set any properties. This is useful for excluding certain files from subse- quent rules. You need to quote the regular_expression, property_name and prop- erty_value fields with double quotes ('"') if you have whitespace in them. Single and double quotes can be escaped with backslash ('\'). EXAMPLES For example, to import the contents of the foo-1.3 directory into the upstream/current directory of the foo repository: svn_load_dirs svn+ssh://svn.example.org/svn/foo upstream/current foo-1.3 A tag can also be added automatically using the -t option: svn_load_dirs svn+ssh://svn.example.org/svn/foo -t 'up- stream/@\d+\.\w+@' upstream/current foo-1.3 Here's an example of a property configuration file: \.doc$ break svn:mime-type application/msword \.ds(p|w)$ break svn:eol-style CRLF \.dos2unix-eol\.sh$ break .* break svn:eol-style native This example specifies that .doc files are to be treated as binary files, that .dsp and .dsw files have their line ending characters kept, and that all other files except dos2unix-eol.sh have their line endings converted to the native style.
