Hi Thanks for the reply. BTW, a good alternative to grep in Windows is findstr
The following works well (to only list *.kb files) Svn status --verbose --show-updates |findstr /E .kb Cheers Niel -----Original Message----- From: C.

Actually, the amount of data currently passed over the network for 'svn status -u' is proportional to the amount of *change* in the tree since the working copy was last updated, not to the size of the tree itself, and is optimized for directory comparisons as opposed to comparisons of individual file revisions.h > However, I'm often only interested in the files with a specific > extension (*.kb).

Yeah, this is pretty much where 'grep' comes into the picture. :-) -- C. Michael Pilato <cmpil...@collab.net> CollabNet <> www.collab.net <> Distributed Development On Demand
