svn-changelist: Commit a changelist.
$ svn commit --changelist ${changelist_name}
try on your machine

The command "svn commit --changelist ${changelist_name}" is used to commit changes made to files in a specific changelist. Here's an explanation of each part of the command:

  • "svn commit": This is the svn command to commit changes in version-controlled files to the repository.
  • "--changelist ${changelist_name}": This is an optional parameter that specifies the changelist where the changes being committed reside. The "${changelist_name}" is a placeholder for the actual name of the changelist.

A changelist in SVN is a way to group related changes together. It allows you to organize pending changes into separate logical groups, making it easier to manage and track changes. By using the --changelist parameter with the commit command, you can specify which changelist to commit.

For example, if you have multiple changes in different files related to a specific feature or bug fix, you could add those files to a changelist named "my_feature" or "bug_fix". Then, by executing "svn commit --changelist my_feature" command, you would commit only the changes in the "my_feature" changelist.

In summary, the "svn commit --changelist ${changelist_name}" command commits the changes in the specified changelist to the SVN repository.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
