SVN commit command

I need to commit the folder after adding some new files to that folder. When I tried this in TortoiseSVN, it was working properly (committed successfully), but while trying this by using the svn commit command it did not commit the folder.

Steps I have followed are:

1. Checkout the test folder from the repository, to D:\Test folder,
2. Add some new files to that test folder,
3. Commit that folder using svn.exe commit D:\Test -m "Added".

It was not committed. I have tried this in TortoiseSVN (right-click on that folder and click SVN Commit), and it committed successfully.

To add a file/folder to the project, a good way is:

First of all add your files to /path/to/your/project/my/added/files, and then run following commands:

svn cleanup /path/to/your/project svn add --force /path/to/your/project/* svn cleanup /path/to/your/project svn commit /path/to/your/project -m 'Adding a file' 

I used cleanup to prevent any segmentation fault (core dumped), and now the SVN project is updated.

Command-line SVN

You need to add your files to your working copy, before you commit your changes to the repository:

svn add <file|folder> 

Afterwards:

svn commit 

See here for detailed information about svn add.

TortoiseSVN

It works with TortoiseSVN, because it adds the file to your working copy automatically (commit dialog):

If you want to include an unversioned file, just check that file to add it to the commit.

See: TortoiseSVN: Committing Your Changes To The Repository

First add the new files:

svn add fileName 

Then commit all new and modified files

svn ci <files_separated_by_space> -m "Commit message|ReviewID:XXXX" 

If non source files are to be committed then

svn ci <files> -m "Commit msg|ReviewID:NON-SOURCE" 

Step1. $ cd [your working path of code]

Step2. $ svn commit [your server path ] -m 'Add commit message'

For help use $ svn help commit
