Subversion allows a file to be updated but not committed ?

[Jacques Le Roux]

Hi,

Someone knows if there is a way in Subversion to allows file(s) to be updated but not committed ?

Thanks

Jacques

Hi Jacques,

not sure to understand what you mean, could you please better explain?
svn update will not do any commits...

A classic approach I would recommend is to make a branch and relocate
your working copy (or sub folder) to the branch location. You shall
merge the changes from trunk into your branch until you finish with your
developments. Then you merge the changes from your branch to trunk. You
may commit changes from your branch anytime you want, of course, but
they will not be visible to those who work with trunk.

"Version Control with Subversion" has a nice chapter on branching and
merging. http://svnbook.red-bean.com/

Hi Jacopo,

I just want to be able to modify some files (properties, build.xml, etc.) and let them be updated but be sure that I will not commit
them by accident, one way only style.
I think there is not a such scheme in svn. Would be helpful when you want to keep things simply.
Some sort of ignore-commit (but can be updated)

Illya, I don't want to make a branch for (in this case) 2 files (but crucial ones).

Thanks to both of you

Hi,
svn export will copy a file (or set of files) as-is from svn to a
directory of your choice.  It's not a live checkout, so you can't
commit back.  If you type svn commit in that directory, nothing will
happen.  To update it, rerun the svn export command (you can't run svn
update on it).  Otherwise, export and checkout are identical in that
they take the same arguments and options.

Yoav,

This exactly what I need. I always wondered why export/import was good for. Now I know.

Thanks a bunch !
