TortoiseSVN+7zip integration

[Pierre Chatelier]

I often have to make a 7zip archive of a versioned directory (for instance a source code tree)

To avoid archiving non-essential files, I can first SVN>cleanup>Delete unversiond files

However, it means that I have to regenerate those files after making the archive (i.e. rebuild my project).

Is there some trick to directly send the versioned files list to 7-zip for archiving ? Or could there be some 7-zip integration in the TortsoiseSVN menus ?

Of course, I am asking that in the context of a GUI, this is very different on a CLI.

Hello Pierre,

You can right-click your working copy and select TortoiseSVN | Export. Export to an empty directory, then archive it. Does this work for you?

Indeed, exporting is a solution.
This is not optimal since it requires to "duplicate everything through export">"archiving with compressor">"delete the export". This is not a major inconvenience, and it does the job, but I feel like it could be better.

you could try a powershell script which parses either 'svn list -R' for the file list (svn list gets the list from the repo), or the list from 'svn st -v -q'. The list from the status command needs cleaning up first though.

And then go through that list like this:

[string]$Zip = "C:\path to 7zip\7-zip\7z.exe";

[array]$args = "a", "-tzip", "-y", "-r", "$arcPath ";

ForEach ( $file in $filesToBackUP ) 

{

  $Zip $args $file;

}

Hi Pierre,  I think most people direct the build outputs to a folder outside the source tree.  Then you don't have to do anything.  Regards, Tony.
