Great, that makes it easier for me to answer :) So you definitely have 'sed' available and could do something like: $ svn status M alpha M epsilon/zeta $ svn status | grep '^[A-Z]' | sed 's/^. \(.*\)$/\1/' alpha epsilon/zeta $ (I bet there are people on this list who can suggest a better regex to use). The 'grep' bit ensures that no unrelated lines printed by svn status are considered (e.g. the lines saying "--- Changelist 'foo'" if you already have changelists defined). The 'sed' part trims the status letter and leading whitespace from the line, leaving the filename. You can write this output to a file and then use svn changelist with the --targets option: $ tempfile="`mktemp`" $ svn status | grep '^[A-Z]' | sed 's/^. \(.*\)$/\1/' >> "$tempfile" $ svn changelist --targets "$tempfile" new-changelist A [new-changelist] alpha A [new-changelist] epsilon/zeta $ rm "$tempfile" You can put these commands into a shell script to automate the task. Of course, it would be nicer if 'svn' had its own way of adding a select subset of files in the working copy to a changelist based on some criteria. But no such feature currently exists as far as I know.
