How to find whether an subversion element is a directory or file
Hi All
Is there a way to find out whether an subversion element is a directory or
file? I don't have a working directory. I want to run a command on the
repository and find out if it is a file or directory? Is it possible to do
that?
Thanks
Vinay

One method which I followed is run "svn info filename". Then i grep for Node
Kind: directory. Is there a neater way of doing it?

As you already stated, you can do an svn info on that file, and then
check the output. Using the --xml switch might make this a bit easier
for scripts.
Also, if you list a directory, and the file listed ends in a slash,
the file is a directory.
You can also try doing a "svn ls" on that file and see if the output
is the file name or a listing.
If you simply want a recursive "svn ls", use the -R switch. Most
people don't realize that.
