Linux SVN 1-Liner: Add all new files except Dreamweaver LCK files

If you’re using DreamWeaver without its built-in Subversion support, or for whatever reason need to add newly-created files (that may still be checked out) to the repository, this one liner will do the trick:

svn st | grep "^\?" | grep -v ".LCK$" | awk '{print $2}' | xargs svn add

Let’s break it down, by pipes (reading left to right):

1. Give me a subversion status: a list of all files that have been added, modified, or otherwise
2. Using grep, only select those that start with a “?”, namely those files added to the working copy, but not yet under version control
3. Using reverse grep (the -v switch), exclude any of those records where the filename ends with “.LCK” (the DreamWeaver lock file that indicates something is checked out)
4. Using AWK, only output the second field (which translates to the filename without all the SVN flags in front of it)
5. Using XARGS, pipe this (now filtered) list of files to the svn add command.
