SVN Commit specific files

Question

Is there any way to commit only a list of specific files (e.q. just one of the list of files that SVN wants to commit).

I\'m working on MAC OS X under Terminal, without

Use changelists. The advantage over specifying files is that you can visualize and confirm everything you wanted is actually included before you commit.

$ svn changelist fix-issue-237 foo.c 
Path 'foo.c' is now a member of changelist 'fix-issue-237'.

That done, svn now keeps things separate for you. This helps when you're juggling multiple changes

$ svn status
A       bar.c
A       baz.c

--- Changelist 'fix-issue-237':
A       foo.c

Finally, tell it to commit what you wanted changed.

$ svn commit --changelist fix-issue-237 -m "Issue 237"
