[svn] SVN- How to commit multiple files in a single shot

I tried to commit multiple files across different directories in a single shot as below,

svn commit –m”log msg” mydir/dir1/file1.c mydir/dir2/myfile1.h mydir/dir3/myfile3.c etc etc

Since, I wanted to exclude some files from the commit list so I’ve placed each file name in the command line as above. I put it together in the notepad and it came about 25 files. When I copy and paste it on the command line, the last few files are missing and I guess this might be a command line buffer limitation (?). Is there any option I can increase the buffer length?

Is there any option I can put all files in a text file and give it as an argument to svn commit?

You can use --targets ARG option where ARG is the name of textfile containing the targets for commit.

svn ci --targets myfiles.txt -m "another commit"

Same as the answer by Dmitry Yudakov, but without an intermediate file, using process substitution:

svn commit --targets <(echo "MyFile1.txt\nMyFile2.txt\n")

I've had no issues committing a few files like this:

svn commit fileDir1/ fileDir2/ -m "updated!"

Use a changeset. You can add as many files as you like to the changeset, all at once, or over several commands; and then commit them all in one go.
