svn log -r {2017-09-01}:{2017-10-31} | less

By default, svn diff shows three lines of context. To change it to 10

svn diff FILENAME --diff-cmd=diff -x -U10

See

svn help diff

for explanation of the arguments and generic use cases.

Most generic way

• Using perl

  => svn st | perl -ne '{ next if /^\?/; if (/(\S+)$/) {print "$1\n";} }' | xargs -r ls -al --time-style="+%Y%m%d_%H%M"

  The -r argument to xargs tells not to run the command if there are no arguments. Useful in the corner case where no files tracked by svn are modified.

Other possible ways

• Using grep and cut

  => svn st | grep -v '^?' | cut -c 9- | xargs -r ls -al --time-style="+%Y%m%d_%H%M"

  This does not work if GREP_OPTIONS is set to display line numbers in the output of grep. In that case the filename may not start from 9th character.

  See the perl version above which does not have this issue.

• Using grep and awk

  => svn st | grep -v '^?' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -r ls -al --time-style="+%Y%m%d_%H%M"

  This does not work if the svn st output contains lines of the form

  A  +    file.c

  See the perl version above which does not have this problem.
