Name

svn changelist (cl) — Associate (or deassociate) local paths with a changelist.

Synopsis

changelist CLNAME TARGET...

changelist --remove TARGET...

Description

Used for dividing files in a working copy into a changelist (logical named grouping) in order to allow users to easily work on multiple file collections within a single working copy.

Options

--changelist ARG
--depth ARG
--quiet (-q)
--recursive (-R)
--remove
--targets FILENAME

Example

Edit three files, add them to a changelist, then commit only files in that changelist:

$ svn changelist issue1729 foo.c bar.c baz.c
Path 'foo.c' is now a member of changelist 'issue1729'.
Path 'bar.c' is now a member of changelist 'issue1729'.
Path 'baz.c' is now a member of changelist 'issue1729'.
$ svn status
A       someotherfile.c
A       test/sometest.c

--- Changelist 'issue1729':
A       foo.c
A       bar.c
A       baz.c
$ svn commit --changelist issue1729 -m "Fixing Issue 1729."
Adding         bar.c
Adding         baz.c
Adding         foo.c
Transmitting file data ...
Committed revision 2.
$ svn status
A       someotherfile.c
A       test/sometest.c
$

Note that in the previous example, only the files in changelist issue1729 were committed.
