svn commit — Send changes from your working copy to the repository.
Send changes from your working copy to the
repository. If you do not supply a log message with your
commit by using either the --file or
--message option,
svn will launch your editor for you
to compose a commit message. See the
editor-cmd section in the section called “Config”.
svn commit will send any lock
tokens that it finds and will release locks on all
PATHS committed (recursively),
unless --no-unlock is passed.
If you begin a commit and Subversion launches your editor to compose the commit message, you can still abort without committing your changes. If you want to cancel your commit, just quit your editor without saving your commit message and Subversion will prompt you to either abort the commit, continue with no message, or edit the message again.
--message (-m) TEXT --file (-F) FILE --quiet (-q) --no-unlock --non-recursive (-N) --targets FILENAME --force-log --username USER --password PASS --no-auth-cache --non-interactive --encoding ENC --config-dir DIR

commit message on the command line and an implicit

foo.c (explicitly specified on the

If you want to use a file that's under version
control for your commit message with
--file, you need to pass the
--force-log option:
$ svn commit --file file_under_vc.txt foo.c svn: The log message file is under version control svn: Log message file is a versioned file; use '--force-log' to override $ svn commit --force-log --file file_under_vc.txt foo.c Sending foo.c Transmitting file data . Committed revision 6.
To commit a file scheduled for deletion:
$ svn commit -m "removed file 'c'." Deleting c Committed revision 7.
