svn archive (or lsdblog etc.)
Hi all out there!
I have the same or similar problem with What to do with the log files and svn
archive/lsdblogs/etc. The help file example does not say anything practical to
me except listing all unused logs. But how can I deal with them under
Win2000? E.g. move them to a ZIP file or another folder or delete them? Have I
to print the list and then move them manually, file by file? I tried to pipe svn
archive output to move and copy command, but with no success.
$ svnadmin archive /path/to/repos | xargs rm
## disk space reclaimed!
What is xargs? Is it a common Unix command? Is it SVN parameters?
W2K says unknown command.
TIA - Jan Hendrik

Shortcuts can be added (still override the toolbar button, but that
can be circumvented by setting the button.bmp as shortcut
symbol. However, the button won't work. Looks like I have to
become a programmer some day - I know that with CS-RCS this
works for I based my SVN toolbar on one for CS-RCS.
BTW with the Windows port of xarg the lsdblogs command work as
in the book (had to add Unix rm, too), zip also works smooth,
mv/move not, but who needs it with rm & zip?! Many thanks for
your help.

Could you create shortcuts to the batch files, and add them to the toolbar?

Many thanks, Max. This worked great, only did "move %i d:\folder"
instead of del to begin with, so I could undo things. Is a test repos
anyway.
Of course the Unix command line is much more elegant and now
knowing that xargs is a command I searched for a Windows port
and will try it next time.
Though not unfamiliar with the command line I did not know the
FOR command and its many options. Have you something more of
this kind in your hat? ;-) I am still looking for a way to redirect svn
output to a dialog window (or notepad) so I can set up an SVN
toolbar in the HTML editor and get e.g. status or log, but also add
or commit messages shown. So far I only get a black flash of the
DOS window. A batch file works in that the output is shown in
notepad, but due to a bug in Homesite all the toolbar buttons are
replaced by the CMD icon then, so zero usability. I have no
programming experience, so I can't just do a little Python or C ...
Cheers!

xargs is a common Unix command, as is rm.
You could probably do something similar with the "Command Extensions" of
cmd.exe
Type "help for" at a cmd.exe prompt. You will probably be able to put
together a command a bit like this UNTESTED UNTESTED UNTESTED example:
for /F "delims=" %i IN ('svnadmin list-unused-dblogs repos') DO del %i
