  1. POHow to add an entry to svn:ignore without deleting previous value using Subversion commandline
    text
    copied!<p>I need to add some files to svn:ignore from the command line.</p> <p>BUT I need to do this without removing previous values of the svn:ignore property. If I use the command:</p> <pre><code>svn propset svn:ignore "*.jar" . </code></pre> <p>it sets the correct ignore value but erases every previous value, which is not what I want.</p> <p>Using <code>svn propedit</code> isn't suitable for me since I need to execute this from an Ant script.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> portability is not an issue for me (I have to work on windows) but I cannot install third-party Ant libraries, I only have the Subversion command line.</p> <p>Thanks in advance for any hint.</p> <p><strong>FINAL EDIT:</strong> to enyone interested, I implemented the suggested solution in the Ant script this way:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!-- Read current values and write them to a file --&gt; &lt;exec executable="svn" output="${build}/current-props-file"&gt; &lt;arg value="propget" /&gt; &lt;arg value="svn:ignore" /&gt; &lt;arg value="." /&gt; &lt;/exec&gt; &lt;!-- Reload the file, stripping away the value possibly already present to avoid duplicate --&gt; &lt;loadfile srcfile="${build}/current-props-file" property="cleaned-props"&gt; &lt;filterchain&gt; &lt;linecontains negate="true"&gt; &lt;contains value=".jar" /&gt; &lt;/linecontains&gt; &lt;/filterchain&gt; &lt;/loadfile&gt; &lt;echo message="cleaned-props: ${cleaned-props}" /&gt; &lt;!-- Create file with final values to set --&gt; &lt;echo file="${build}/cleaned-props-file" message="${cleaned-props}*.jar" /&gt; &lt;!-- Set property values --&gt; &lt;exec executable="svn"&gt; &lt;arg value="propset" /&gt; &lt;arg value="svn:ignore" /&gt; &lt;arg value="--file" /&gt; &lt;arg value="${build}/cleaned-props-file" /&gt; &lt;arg value="." /&gt; &lt;/exec&gt; </code></pre>
