Feature request: svn clean
Hi.
When working on a change that requires a full rebuild to be properly tested
or when making releases would be very helpful to be able to convert an existing
working copy into what would have resulted from a clean checkout from the
repository. Svn clean would basicly be a superset of svn revert -R. In addition
to revert, it would delete all unversioned (usually generated) files in the
working copy.
Can I file an issue on this?

I use svn export of the working copy to do these types of clean/release
builds.
With all the reverting and deleting of files I'd be very worried about
losing
variable work. (as others commented).

Check out the svn-clean script that I wrote and that comes with subversion in
the contrib directory.
http://svn.collab.net/viewcvs/svn/trunk/contrib/client-side/svn-clean?&view=auto
With that script, simply do:
svn-clean
svn revert -R .

Okay, but maybe consider reading 'perldoc system' before doing that.

Filenames with spaces and funny characters could cost you if you have
your command constructed as a scalar.

Just roll your own:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $debug = 1;
for ( `svn status` ) {
if ( /^\?\s+(.+)/ ) {
my $command = "rm -rf $1";
if ( $debug ) {
print "$command\n";
}
else {
system $command;
}
}
}
P.S. To make it work, set debug to 0 and away you go.

I've got my own version of a clean/purge script which just uses shell and
sed, if that is any help.
Alternatively, if that was a subtle hint that you are using Windows, then I
can see how scripts would be more painful.
If you feel strongly about this changing, I think you should summarize the
problem to the dev@ list, making sure to point out clearly why scripts don't
work well for you. _If_ suitable consensus is generated, there is no problem
adding another svn subcommand.

Well, my only argument against a script is that of user friendlyness.
Firstly, the user must find the script on the net and download and
install it. Secondly, the user must download and install perl (if not
already installed). Using the script is done differently than when
normally interacting with subversion. For instance, I assume no help
is shown when doing a svn help clean.

So, to summarize this thread:
The current thinking is that this is so easy to script that it is not worth
bothering with yet another svn subcommand.
That remains open for discussion, but any such discussion must begin by
explaining why the script solution isn't satisifactory.
