copy SVN modified files only to another directory

I have a list of files in my current working copy that have been modified locally. There are about 50 files that have been changed.

I can get a list of these files by doing this:

svn st | ack '^M'

Is there a way I can copy these files and only these files to another directory, which is called backup?

Solution

  • Assuming ack is like grep... you could do something like: 

    cp `svn st | ack '^M' | cut -b 8-` backup

    I'd post this as a comment... but I don't know how to escape the backticks in comments...
