Ignore re-generated but unchanged files in a Subversion commit

210 views Asked by At

We use Entity Framework 5. Sometimes we find if we make a change to the model all class files are deleted and re-created, although most of them contain exactly the same code as before.

Subversion marks all these files as deleted/new and, when committed, uploads a new version of all of them, regardless of whether their contents have actually changed. This is annoying as it makes it difficult to track which files have actually changed.

Is there any way to make subversion include in the commit only those files that have actually changed?

We are using TortoiseSVN 1.7.11, Build 23600; and AnkhSVN 2.3.10838.1211 with Visual Studio Professional 2012

As workaround you can use subversion hooks and prohibit remove/add files with identical names in same revision. Then user will be responsible to convert 'replace' to 'modify'. This is also annoying, but will be better look in history, better merged and updated.
