Re: Anyone know how to put a file directly into a repository over command line - simulate checkin

Perfect!

But like Ryan, I'm not versed enough with subversion or C to update this
example completely. Is there anyone available that could help me tweak it?

We'll be using this to 'put' files directly into the repositories as a
backend implementation --> meaning no prompting can be used. To this end we
need to modify the script so it supports the following cmd line args -> we
intent to make it very similar to svn import:

--
put: Commit a unversioned file(s) into the repository (overwriting any
versioned file at destination).
usage: svnput [PATH] URL
  Recursively commit a copy of PATH to URL.
  If PATH is omitted '.' is assumed.
  Parent directories are created as necessary in the repository.
  If PATH is a directory, the contents of the directory are added
  directly under URL.
Valid options:
  -N [--non-recursive]          : operate on singe directory only
  -m [--message] arg            : specify commit message ARG
  --username arg                : specify a username ARG
  --password arg                : specify a password ARG
  --non-interactive             : do no interactive prompting
--
I'm pretty sure I can figure out how to do the command line options, but the
recursion (even the iteration of multiple files in a single directory) will
be over my head.
Can anyone help?
