Stay in the loop…

Follow the Tweets.

Every new command is wrapped in a tweet and posted to Twitter. Following the stream is a great way of staying abreast of the latest commands. For the more discerning, there are Twitter accounts for commands that get a minimum of 3 and 10 votes - that way only the great commands get tweeted.

add all files not under version control to repository

handels @, ?, whitespaces in names.

replace "?" and "add" by "!" and "rm" for svn mass remove.

---> I m looking for a nicer way to write it, perhaps with something using " perl -ne '`blahblah` if /\?(.*)/' "

checks which files are not under version control, fetches the names and runs them through "svn add". WARNING: doesn't work with white spaces.

Add all unversioned files to svn

No need for grep, let awk do the match. This will not behave properly if the filenames contains whitespace, which is awk's default field separator.

This version makes uses of Bash shell expansion, so it might not work in all other shells.
