Is there a Subversion command to reset the working copy

Question

Is there a single Subversion command that would    reset    a working copy exactly to the state that   s stored in the repository  Something like git reset --hard or  ha  hard Git reset does not remove unversioned files either   rm -rf wc  amp  amp  svn co  lt url gt  wc   Update  I   m not after a simple revert  as that does not delete extra files in the working copy  I really want something that would be the same as deleting the working copy and checking it out again  only without having to download the data again   Obviously I don   t mind losing all the uncommitted changes

To remove untracked files

I was able to list all untracked files reported by svn st in bash by doing:

echo $(svn st | grep -P "^\?" | cut -c 9-)

If you are feeling lucky, you could replace echo with rm to delete untracked files. Or copy the files you want to delete by hand, if you are feeling a less lucky.

(I used @abe-voelker 's answer to revert the remaining files: https://stackoverflow.com/a/6204601/1695680)

You can recursively revert like this   svn revert --recursive    There is no way  without writing a creative script  to remove things that aren t under source control  I think the closest you could do is to iterate over all of the files  use then grep the result of svn list  and if the grep fails  then delete it   EDIT  The solution for the creative script is here  Automatically remove Subversion unversioned files  So you could create a script that combines a revert with whichever answer in the linked question suits you best

Delete everything inside your local copy using   rm -r your local svn dir path     And the revert everything recursively using the below command   svn revert -R your local svn dir path   This is way faster than deleting the entire directory and then taking a fresh checkout  because the files are being restored from you local SVN meta data  It doesn t even need a network connection

Very quick and simple and does exactly what you want  svn status   awk   if  2      config   ini    amp  amp   system  test -e      2         print  2  system  rm -Rf      2             The   config  ini   is for my own purposes   And might be a good idea to add --no-ignore to the svn command
