Hello Giulio,
Thank you very much for your prompt reply.
I have found a document on net that says changelists work
with files and not with Folders.
Also tested it, svn cl skips folders. The output message is
Skipped 'foldername'
Thanks and regards,
Sachin.

Hello,
I am using SVN command line client 1.6.2 on windows.
I have following folder structure
Trunk
Folder1
File1
File2
Folder2
File3
File4
Folder3
File5
File6
I have perform following local operations
changed Folder1's property.
Modified File1
Deleted Folder2
I would like to do the commit of following
Property change in Folder1
Deleted Folder2
But don't want to commit the changes done in File1.
How can I do it with one svn commit command ( atomic commit ).
If we use
Svn commit --m "msg" "Trunk\Folder1" "Trunk\Folder2"
It will work properly but will also commit the changes in
"Trunk\Folder1\File1"
To avoid it if we use
Svn commit --m "msg" --depth=empty "Trunk\Folder1" "Trunk\Folder2\File3"
"Trunk\Folder2\File4" "Trunk\Folder2"
Commit fails as it does not get the File3, file4 on disk.
Svn commit --m "msg" --depth=empty "Trunk\Folder1" "Trunk\Folder2"
Commit fails as with error.
svn: Cannot non-recursively commit a directory deletion of a directory with
child nodes
Is this a bug or is there any way to perform atomic commit in the scenario
explained.
Thanks and regards,
Sachin.
I haven't tested this but my first idea would be to use changelists.
Add Folder1 and Folder2 to a changelist
svn cl test Trunk\Folder1
svn cl test Trunk\Folder2
and then remove File1 from it
svn cl test --remove Trunk\Folder1\File1
Check that the changelist contains exactly what you want
svn st
Finally, commit using the changelist
svn ci --changelist test -m "msg"
As I said, I haven't tested this. Good luck
Giulio
