SVNDELTA(1)

NAME
svndelta - Manage and summarize the differences between a Subversion project and local files.

SYNOPSIS
svndelta [options] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
Manages and summarizes the differences between a Subversion project and local files, showing the changes of the files themselves and of their contents. Added, changed, and deleted files are denoted with `+', `*', and `-' respectively. The number of lines are displayed.

OPTIONS

--banner, --no-banner
    Whether to show the banner, i.e., the header and footer of the output table. By default, the banner is displayed.

-e, --execute
    Execute the associated Subversion commands ("add" and "remove") for the added and deleted files.

-h, --help
    Display a help message.

-i, --confirm
    Interactively confirm deleted files with the user before removing them from Subversion. The default is simply to execute the remove command for relevant files. This option is valid only with the --execute option.

-q, --quiet
    Run with minimum output. In quiet mode, the progress meter is not displayed.

--prune
    Skip directories that are not in Subversion. The default behavior is to process all subdirectories.

-v, --version
    Display the version and exit.

-V, --verbose
    Run with maximum output, which is written to standard error.

ARGUMENTS
Arguments may be either files or directories. If no argument is given, the current directory is assumed.

File
    If a file is provided, it is compared against the equivalent in Subversion, if any.

Directory
    Directories are processed recursively for files that are not filtered out by .svnignore files.

EXAMPLES
    % svndelta

List the changed files.

    % svndelta --execute

List the changed files, and execute the associated add and remove commands.

    % svndelta --confirm

Add and remove the appropriate files, but get confirmation from the user before removing any files.

ENVIRONMENT

$HOME/.svndeltarc, .../project/.svndeltarc
    Resource files containing name/value pairs, separated by either ':' or '='. The valid fields of a .svndeltarc file are as follows, with their default values:

        quiet:    false
        verbose:  false
        execute:  false
        prune:    false
        banner:   true

    "yes" and "on" are synonymnous with "true". "no" and "off" signify "false".

    The values in the project .svndeltarc file will override those in the user's .svndeltarc file. The project .svndeltarc is assumed to be at the topmost directory in the local file hierarchy.

SVNDELTAOPTS
    A string of whitespace-delimited options, the same as listed above. These values override those of the resource files.

NOTES
If a file exists in the Subversion project but not locally, it is assumed that the file has been deleted, not that it may have been recently added by another user. The --confirm option can be used to deal with this situation.
