list directories (and subdirectories) of a svn remore repo

Question

I need to list all directories and subdirectories recursively of a remote svn repo, I tried to use

svn list http://....myrepository -R --depth=infinity

but I get also the files.

Is there a vay to instruct "svn list" in order to list only the folders without using any post processing as grep...?

Answer 1

No i am pretty sure it is not possible as of release 1.14.

What svn ls outputs is path and an option whether the path is a DIR or a FILE(you can check it out by exporting the ls in xml format). There is a search option in svn ls that allows you to search "glob syntax" terms on path. There is no way to pass a glob argument to search that will only filter out the directories. You will have to use a post processing like grep or use an output xml file.

Additional example information, if output from the

svn list http://....myrepository -R --depth=infinity

is

branch/folder1/
branch/folder1/file.file

And you try to search something as

svn list http://....myrepository -R --depth=infinity --search r"*/"

You will not get output of only folder1 as the / is added after the list has been outputed to the terminal.

It would be interesting to know the use case though, where this would be needed.

Answer 2

unfortunately your suggestion does not work with the svn version I have

$ svn --version
svn, version 1.9.12 

.....
svn list http://...myRepo -R --depth=infinity --search r"*/"
Subcommand 'list' doesn't accept option '--search ARG'
