[svn] What svn command would list all the files modified on a branch?

In svn, I have a branch which was created, say at revision 22334. Commits were then made on the branch.

How do I get a list of all files that were changed on the branch compared to what's on the trunk? I do not want to see files that were changed on the trunk between when the branch was created and "now".

This question is related to svn

The answer is


svn log -q -v shows paths and hides comments. All the paths are indented so you can search for lines starting with whitespace. Then pipe to cut and sort to tidy up:

svn log --stop-on-copy -q -v | grep '^[[:space:]]'| cut -c6- | sort -u

This gets all the paths mentioned on the branch since its branch point. Note it will list deleted and added, as well as modified files. I just used this to get the stuff I should worry about reviewing on a slightly messy branch from a new dev.


This will list only modified files:

svn status -u | grep M

You can use the following command:

svn status -q

According to svnbook:

With --quiet (-q), it prints only summary information about locally modified items.

WARNING: The output of this command only shows your modification. So I suggest to do a svn up to get latest version of the file and then use svn status -q to get the files you have modified.


echo You must invoke st from within branch directory
SvnUrl=`svn info | grep URL | sed 's/URL: //'`
SvnVer=`svn info | grep Revision | sed 's/Revision: //'`
svn diff -r $SvnVer --summarize $SvnUrl

-u option will display including object files if they are added during compilation.

So, to overcome that additionally you may use like this.

svn status -u | grep -v '\?' 

You can also get a quick list of changed files if thats all you're looking for using the status command with the -u option

svn status -u

This will show you what revision the file is in the current code base versus the latest revision in the repository. I only use diff when I actually want to see differences in the files themselves.

There is a good tutorial on svn command here that explains a lot of these common scenarios: SVN Command Reference
