Move all files of certain file type using SVN

Question

I have a directory full of image files. I want to move all the .jpg files one directory up

$svn move *.jpg ../ 
$svn: Client error in parsing arguments

As you can see this approach doesn't work.

If this isnt possible how do I move ALL the files up one directory?

SVN version 1.4.4 on OSX 10.5

Answer 1

You'll need some shell script to do this, e.g.

ls *.jpg | while read i; do svn move "$i" ../; done

Answer 2

As far as I understand from the manual you can't do this with pure svn. If you want to move/copy all files, then must move/copy the directory.

Answer 3

You could do this with 1.5/1.6 client but not with 1.4 never the less you have to quote the parameters to prevent the shell to expand the parameters.
