Question

Exclude TortoiseSVN's ignore-on-commit files from svn diff

Answer 1

+1 A:

Apparently it's a special changelist entry. As for how to then ignore the file/s from the command line, it doesn't look like there's a particularly easy way.

Thanks for the answer! An easy way is to list all files with a certain changelist entry, which can be done (how I learned right now) with `svn status --changelist ignore-on-commit working-copy`. That should do the trick.

Answer 2

+1 A:

You can see the changelist via 'svn info' on the file. And set/reset changelists via 'svn changelist'

$ svn help cl
changelist (cl): Associate (or dissociate) changelist CLNAME with the named files.
usage: 1. changelist CLNAME TARGET...
       2. changelist --remove TARGET...

Valid options:
  -q [--quiet]             : print nothing, or only summary information
  -R [--recursive]         : descend recursively, same as --depth=infinity
  --depth ARG              : limit operation by depth ARG ('empty', 'files',
                            'immediates', or 'infinity')
  --remove                 : remove changelist association
  --targets ARG            : pass contents of file ARG as additional args
  --changelist ARG         : operate only on members of changelist ARG
                             [aliases: --cl]

But then I would have to grep all files recursively and call for every file the `svn info`. I think, parsing the output of `svn st --changelist ignore-on-commit` ould be easier.

You can also use --depth infinity on 'svn info' to show all items. That should be a lot faster if the files are modified. (Status compares, info just shows the metadata)
