Great, that makes it easier for me to answer :)
So you definitely have 'sed' available and could do something like:
$ svn status
M alpha
M epsilon/zeta
$ svn status | grep '^[A-Z]' | sed 's/^. \(.*\)$/\1/'
alpha
epsilon/zeta
$
(I bet there are people on this list who can suggest a better regex to use).
The 'grep' bit ensures that no unrelated lines printed by svn status
are considered (e.g. the lines saying "--- Changelist 'foo'" if you already
have changelists defined). The 'sed' part trims the status letter and
leading whitespace from the line, leaving the filename.
You can write this output to a file and then use svn changelist with
the --targets option:
$ tempfile="`mktemp`"
$ svn status | grep '^[A-Z]' | sed 's/^. \(.*\)$/\1/' >> "$tempfile"
$ svn changelist --targets "$tempfile" new-changelist
A [new-changelist] alpha
A [new-changelist] epsilon/zeta
$ rm "$tempfile"
You can put these commands into a shell script to automate the task.
Of course, it would be nicer if 'svn' had its own way of adding a
select subset of files in the working copy to a changelist based on
some criteria. But no such feature currently exists as far as I know.
