Is it possible to use svn import with a file that exists already?
Currently as workaround I do svn remove and than svn import. But the problem is that I have two revision numbers (two commits) and the entire diff is stored on svn server side instead of only the diff of the two files.
I don't want to make a checkout to have a solution for that.
Use svnmucc put SRC-FILE URL.
E.g. run the following command:
svnmucc put C:\test\myfile.txt https://svn.example.com/repos/myfile.txt -m "My Commit Message" Read about svnmucc tool in SVNBook | svnmucc Reference—Subversion Multiple URL Command Client.
svnmucc is not a third-party program. It's just another tool provided by Apache Subversion. You should already have it.
Maybe this will help someone: I cannot use svnmucc due to server infrastructure reasons.
Here is an alternative: Checkout one file from Subversion Solution: Create an empty checkout, update the single file, modify it and commit it.
svn checkout <url_of_big_dir> <target> --depth empty cd <target> svn up <file_you_want> Source and "copyright": See link abowe.
