I'm looking for a way to remove a directory from my working copy without it causing svn diff to report changes.
I often use svn co and svn up with --depth files to checkout partial pieces of a repository. For example I have the following repository structure: ----trunk |------- folder1 |------- folder2 To checkout trunk and folder 1 I would do: svn checkout "file:///svn/project/tr...@head" -r HEAD --ignore-externals --depth files "/home/davey/ws/project_runtime/trunk3" svn update "/home/davey/ws/project_runtime/trunk3/folder1" -r HEAD --depth files This gives me a partial checkout of my repository. Most importantly though, if I do an svn diff I do not see any changes. Now sometimes I checkout everything, but then decide that I don't want certain folders in my working copy. If I remove them using svn rm, and then subsequently do an svn diff, I obviously see the deletion as a change. So I'm looking for a different command like svn rmlocal that would not report this diff (essentially removing the deleted dir from the .svn/entries). I can remove this data from the entries file, but it is a pain. Is there an svn command that allows me to do this? Thanks, David
