HowTo: directly modify a file on repos

["gary (guangyuan) sun" <ga...@yahoo.com>]

Hi all,

I always need to add a line to a file which is in my
repository. I did that by 3 steps: checkout, modify
(add a line), and commit.

I don't like checkout the file to my wc again and
again. Can I directly add a line to the file and
commit it to my repository?

Thanks

Gary

In the tools/examples folder of the subversion source distribution, there is
a file called svnput.c. You may be able to use it. It probably should be
used if you are really sure of what you are doing. Do read the warning at
the top of the file.
That said, given a choice, I will write a script to checkout, update and
commit (as pointed out by Sohail).

Thanks,

Just write a script:

#!/bin/bash
#editfile.sh <url>

tmpdir=/tmp/$$
mkdir $tmpdir
svn co `dirname $1` $tmpdir
$EDITOR $tmpdir/`basename $1`
svn commit $tmpdir

Should work... :-)

The usual procedure is to keep your checked out working copy in place, 
updating periodically if others are also making changes.  Then you just 
make your change and commit each time.
