Subversion update externals to a date

Question

I\'m working on a large, established project under SVN control. Many parts of the code base are being checked out as externals, but are being actively worked on by other peo

Let svn do the recursion for you.

The tempfile and tee are only here so that you can see the full output:

SVN_UP_OUTPUT=$(mktemp SVN_UP_OUTPUT.XXXXX)
svn up -r$REVISION | tee $SVN_UP_OUTPUT
cat $SVN_UP_OUTPUT | egrep '^Fetching external' | egrep -o "'.*'" | sed -e "s/'//g" | while read DIR;do
    echo $$ svn up -r$REVISION "$DIR"
    svn up -r$REVISION "$DIR"
done
rm $SVN_UP_OUTPUT

If you don't care about the output, it can be shortened to this:

svn up -r$REVISION | egrep '^Fetching external' | egrep -o "'.*'" | sed -e "s/'//g" | while read DIR;do
    svn up -r$REVISION "$DIR"
done

And of course, in your case:

REVISION='{20090324}'
