I have different files that must be committed to a repository. One file has some changes, but I don't want to commit also this one, because at the moment it has some dangerous changes. How can I tell svn files that I don't want to commit?

Try this 

svn changelist ignore-on-commit file-you-want-to-add

I hope this will help you SVN: Is there a way to mark a file as "do not commit"?

If you're using a client like TortoiseSVN you can check which files you would like to commit without committing the entire package.

Here is a link:

  • Thanks, but I'm under Linux and I'm using the shell. I can't install anything on this computer. – Jepessen Oct 24 '13 at 13:29
  • If you don't have a ton of files you can simply append the only ones you want to the commit command. svn commit file_1 file_2. – m3h2014 Oct 24 '13 at 13:32

There are also excellent gui tools under Linux (I use kdesvn), but you can also do this on cli by temporarily adding the file in question to the svn-ignore list.

You can also experiment with the find utility. It is used to select files by attributes, so for example by name. And it offers a nogation switch: find . ! -name "file-to-gnore". Maybe you can pipe the result to your cli svn client? Yes, you can: find working_copy_folder ! -name "file-to-gnore" | svn ci

  • I think users will have a bad time when they forget to remove files from svn:ignore and miss a commit. – thekbb Oct 25 '13 at 14:23
