rsync helps exporting Subversion’s working copies

This one-liner helps you to keep a mirror of a working copy of a Subversion repository without its .svn directories. It may speed up the test-modify-commit cycle: it acts like an export but it should be faster.

The command is


rsync -apogz –delete –exclude=”.svn/” /working_copy/path/ /testing/point/
rsync -Dgloprtz –delete –exclude=”.svn/” /working_copy/path/ /testing/point/

Of course the whole thing works if your project doesn’t have “.svn/” directories.
