Commit to SVN without changing the revision

Question

I am commiting files to SVN via jenkins. This file have no effect on the revision and should not update it and increase revision number. How can I commit it without updating revision number?

svn commit -m "Jeninkins build number update" AndroidStable/BuildNumber.txt --non-interactive --username jenkins --password jenkins

Answer 1

What you are asking for isn't possible. SVN ^* doesn't distinguish between "code" and "not code"; any change to the content of the repo is a commit, which is (by definition) a bump in the revision number.

If your aim is to just incorporate the revision number into the final build artifact, there's no need to commit it back to SVN. You can just pull it in at build-time.

More simply: Don't put auto-generated stuff in version-control.
