I want to move all files in this svn dir:

svn list http://svn.atld1/svn-prodops/sysadmin

to:

svn list http://svn.atld1/svn-prodops/sysadmin/scripts

Doing svn mv would see obvious and using xargs or -exec might work. I prefer not to use any brain energy on a shell script. I just do it in ruby in 5 minutes:

svn list http://svn.atld1/svn-prodops/sysadmin > /tmp/script.list

Write this to a ruby file:

f = File.open("/tmp/script.list")

f.each_line {|line|

cmd = "svn mv http://svn.atld1/svn-prodops/sysadmin/#{line.strip}
http://svn.atld1/svn-prodops/sysadmin/scripts/ -m
\"moving #{line} to scripts \" "

puts "running: #{cmd}"
`#{cmd}"

}

Now execute the file above after double checking. Viola done even with relevant comments for each move!
