How can only the files that were modified in a range of SVN revisions be checked out?

Is it possible to checkout only those files from a SVN repository that were modified in a revision or range of revisions, without checking out any files that were not modified?

Solution

  • My suggestion is in the same lines as flolo suggests. But, takes a range. You could the following shell function.

    function checkout_files_in_revrange()
{
  svn_url=$1;
  start_rev=$2;
  end_rev=$3;
  for theCheckoutCanditate in `svn log -r $start_rev:$end_rev --verbose --incremental | grep "   M " | cut -f5 -d' ' | cut -f3- -d/`
  do
     svn co $svn_url/$theCheckoutCandidate -q;
  done
}
