Project Detail

Description

Hello - I am awarding this project to the first person who posts a solution in the shortest number of lines of code. I herby undertake NOT to use anyone code who is not awarded the project. In other words I explicitly obtain the copyright to the posted winners code only once paid.

Here is the challenge.

I use SVN subversion and wish to automate the following task which is pasted below - you can see below the manual way I do it. I need a script that basically iterates in ONE directory through my files and runs the upgrade script that I do by hand listed below.

Winner - will be the person who posts the smallest code to do this solution - running from shell (bash) prompt - I will also accept php or perl solutions. I will pay the winner $30-.

PLUS WINNER GETS 10/10 FEEDBACK WITH POSITIVE COMMENTS.

To clarify the logic

You need to first issue the following

[professorx]$ svn ci -m ""
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Directory '/home/petayexa/petayexa.com/wp-content/plugins/redirection/.svn' containing working copy admin area is missing

This will give you the first folder to work on (redirection)

and then find the first commit failure - then do the mv - update - copy and rm then


then run same ci again

do over till no more commit errors
