SVKTips

Remove all files in COPATH that are not versioned

svk st COPATH | grep ^? | cut -d' ' -f 4 |xargs rm -rf

rm -fr COPATH/*; svk revert -R COPATH

svk st COPATH | awk '/^\?/ {system("rm -rf " $2)}'

(mornfall: sounds like a bad idea... first line - i would much prefer cut -cN- (given the svk st output format), xargs rm -rf only after looking at the file list first... second one will lose any uncommited changes as i see it).

Show all files in MANIFEST that are not versioned

xargs svk st < MANIFEST | grep ^?

Old diffstat workaround

The output of 'svk diff' is not recognized by diffstat prior to 1.34. You can use the following line to workaround:

svk diff | sed 's/^=== /Index: /' | diffstat

Importing

To change a group of svk-managed sub-directories to a common branch

for x in *; do (cd $x; svk sw //work/trunk/$x); done

If you use bash

check out SVKPathCompletion

If a revision file goes bad in your repository

check out SVKRebuildRepo

Change the commit message for a revision

svnadmin setlog REPOS_PATH -r N --bypass-hooks FILE

This is a svn command, so works on subversion repositories. But, since svk depots are really just svn repositories internally, this command works on svk depots also. You just have to find the depot on your local system. It'll be the directory with "conf", "dev", "db", "hooks" subdirectories and more in it. Once you find that directory, use it for the REPOS_PATH. FILE is the file that contains the new commit message. This tip largely comes from the subversion FAQ:

Turn on debugging messages

To enable debugging output, set the environment variable SVKLOGLEVEL. In bash, the command to enable debugging for a single run would look like the following (doing a push operation):

SVKLOGLEVEL=debug svk push [car shipping http://www.cartransportquotes.com.]

You can also use `export SVKLOGLEVEL=debug` to set the logging level for your entire session. Other possible options halloween contacts include -- debug, info, warn, error, fatal. The default is 'info' and is set by SVK::Logger.
