Subversion: commit only modified files

Question

I want to commit a large amount of XML files which have been modified. However, within the directory that I want to recursively search through, there are many folders/files which have been added locally, these I do not want to commit.

Is there a way to do this on the command line?

Update: I should have included the SVN version info: svn, version 1.4.6 (r28521), compiled Mar 11 2008, 08:26:35

P.S. I'd be interested in answers which include how to force the commit, e.g. even if files have been locked.

Answer 1

Have you tried using an svn:ignore property on the local files/folders? But unless you svn add them, they won't get committed...

typically --force will allow you to steal the file lock.
