Question

Rar command - ignore certain folders

Answer 1

+2 A:

Have you tried -x.svn*

Wow. I've been trying through all those options and just can't figure it out. Thanks for the help.

This is not working. Files beneath the .svn folders will still get archived.

This will work with some tiny tweakings :)

Answer 2

+1 A:

dir .svn /b /s > files.lst
rar (rest of command) [email protected]

This will only work for the top level, but not the sub folders.

Answer 3

A:

The final working version, three steps involved:

1) dir /b /s /a .sv? > svn.lst
2) for /f \"tokens=* delims=\" %%i in ('dir /s /b /a:d *svn') do (dir /b /s /q \"%i\") >> svn.lst
3) rar a [email protected] myarchive [files....]

These three lines has to be in a .bat file.

Answer 4

+2 A:

You could do an svn export, then you wouldn't have the .svn folders in the first place.

It seems so obvious, why did no-one think of this before?

Answer 5

A:

You have to include the fully qualified path and it's substructures. The path has to be canonical.

popdir %mypath%\.svn
set _=%cd%
pushdir

rar a -x%_% -x%_%\* myarchive

RAR a -ehs -x*.svn* -r
