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