RE: [Feature request] Export changed files

Searching the mailing list archive is always a good thing before asking for
something like this:

http://svn.haxx.se

in which case, you'd have found this:

http://tortoisesvn.berlios.de/issues/?do=details&id=263

and only 3 days ago!

Subject: [Feature request] Export changed files

Hi,

I'm using Subversion and TortoiseSVN daily. Today, i've had an discussion
with a developer of a another company.

They have the following model:

- They develop an CMS-System based on PHP. If they commit a new revision to
the repository, the post-commit hook updates the *company-owned* servers
with the changed/added files and will remove also the deleted one.

- After a few revisions with few bugfixes or some new features, they will
send a ZIP-file to their customers. In this archive only the changed files
should be included, so the customers administrator can unzuip over the
running cms system without to copy *all* files.
Additional the administrator will get a list with the deleted files, so this
ones can be removed manual.

(It's not possible to use a hook for this - it's an internal decision, when
to generate this update-archive. And then not all customers will get *any*
update - so in this process is a "human" factor)

Now we think it would be nice, if you'll have a TSVN-features such like
this:

- In the log dialog, you can mark a revision range (or just a starting
revsion and an ending one...). In the context menu now you can select
"export changed files", then TSVN will export the files, which changed
between this revisions to an user-selected folder.

- Addition TSVN would generate a deleted.txt - so the customer have a list
of files to delete manual

I think, the handling of moved files would be a little tricky: If a file was
moved between the revisions, you have include the "old" one in the
deleted.txt and export the file on the new location.

Best regards

Tobias
