RE: switch to ignore files that have not been checked in?
I'm trying to add properties to a bunch of files that have a common file extension, but are not the only files in the directory/directories. I would like to run something like: svn propset svn:needs-lock '*' *.png *.jpg *.vsd The problem is that I have a number of temporary files in the working directory that match the pattern but are not and should not be checked in. The problem with using the convenience of shell patterns is that subversion aborts as soon as it processes a file that is not already checked in. It also aborts even if a file or directory has the svn:ignore property set. I don't know of an easy way to match all the files that match a shell pattern and are also already checked in. (Which would be a clunky workaround for not having the following:) I'd like to use a switch such as: svn --ignore-non-checked-in-files propset svn:needs-lock '*' *.png *.jpg *.vsd Does such a switch already exist? Such a switch would tell subversion commands to silently ignore files and directories that have not been checked in. The opposite already exists. If I run svn add *.png, the svn add command runs, but complains harmlessly if a file has already been checked in. svn add does not halt if it encounters a file that has already been checked in. Can you not just do a clean checkout and run the command. This way there won't be any un-versioned files. BOb

Try the --force switch. If I'm reading your post/question correctly you may need to (via your own bash script) grep/sed/awk the output of svn status (for M's) and only svn propset the ones matching your pattern.
