Under MS windows command prompt, when you type a svn command, such as: svn status. It will show the change state and the path name. But it is using "\" as the path delimiters.

Is there a way to use "/" as the path delimiters?

In this answer we will add a new command, which is executed calling svnst on the bash command-line.

To do so, open ~/.bashrc with a editor.

vi ~/.bashrc

and add at the end of the file

function svnst() { svn status $@ | sed 's:\\:/:g'; }

After saving the file, open a new bash command-shell so the changes can take effect.

Read here if you have trouble saving and exiting vi.

Blatantly copied from Gedroxs comment from the other answer here, which almost works.

One solution (maybe not the best one) is to run svn on cygwin.

    At least `svn` 1.7.8 on `cygwin` uses backslash delimiters as well. – Gedrox May 13 '14 at 07:19

    Still, you can add function `function svnst() { svn status $@ | sed ‘s:\\:/:g’ }` in the ~/.bashrc file and use cygwin. Restart cygwin after the change. – Gedrox May 13 '14 at 07:22

I assumed incorrectly that svnstat would be picked up by svn. Upon closer examination @MadMike solution worked for me but I needed to use the alias like so:

svnst -u

Thanks @MadMike
