How to revert files with specific extension in svn?

Question

I would like to do something like this:

svn revert --recursive mydata/*/*.txt

and I want it to revert all files which have extension *.txt in the directory mydata. Is there a way to do that?

Answer 1

Are you using Linux or some other Unix variant which supports find? (Heck, it would probably be fine in cygwin too.) If so, try this:

svn revert `find mydata -name '*.txt'`

If you've got a lot of files you may need to use xargs instead.

Answer 2

What about:

find mydata -mindepth 2 -name \*.txt | xargs svn revert
