Can I specify the files to commit in subversion in a file rather than on the command line?

I have renamed (with svn move) a lot of files in a subversion project. Now, I am trying to commit these on Window's cmd.exe. It seems that I hit a limit (probably by cmd.exe) in that the number of files is too long for the command line to swallow.

Now, I thought and hoped that I could list the files to commit in a seperate file that I could specify with the commit command (something like svn ci --files-to-commit=renamed-files.txt -m "Renamed a lot of files"

Yet, either such an option does not exist or I am unable to find this.

Unfortunately, I cannot do a svn ci . as I have done other changes in the project as well. Neither can I do a svn ci *pattern-of-renamed-files* since this would only check in the added files, not the deleted ones.

Before I start checking in the files with smaller chunks of files to check in (and thus increase the revision number uneccesserily w开发者_如何学Pythonithout giving a hint as to the 'atomicity' of the operation) I thought I ask if this is indeed impossible to do.

Oh, such an option does exist indeed, and I was unable to find it.

svn ci --target renamed-files.txt -m "Renamed a lot of files

did exactly what I intended to do.

A mistake I made was that I didn't list each file in renamed-files.txt on a seperate line, but listed them all in the same (first) line. Therefore, the command wouldn't work.

Anyway, please forgive my wasting bandwith with something I could have solved myself with but a few minutes more reading.
