NAME
bk export − export a patch or version of a BitKeeper
repository
SYNOPSIS
bk export −tpatch [−ahpST]
[−salias] [−ipat]
[−xpat]
−rr1,r2
bk export −tplain [−akSTvw]
[−salias] [−ipat]
[−xpat] −rrev to
DESCRIPTION
The bk export command generates a directory tree
alongside the BitKeeper repository which contains
checked-out copies of all the files under BitKeeper control.
It can also generate traditional (diff −Nur)
patches between any two revisions of the source tree. By
default, bk export only exports user files. Files
under the BitKeeper directory are not exported. This
behavior can be changed with the −i and
−x options.
OPTIONS
−a Include system files from BitKeeper/
subdirectory in exports.
−h Disable patch header.
−ipat Export only pathnames matching
pat pattern (see below).
−k Do not expand keywords (default is to expand
keywords).
−p Do procedural diffs when exporting a patch (see
diff(1)).
−rrev Export the tree as of revision
rev.
−T Set gfile modification time to check-in time.
−ttype Select export format via
type:
plain Export file in
plain text to a directory tree.
patch Export file in gnu patch format.
−v Be verbose.
−w Make files writable (default is read-only).
−xpat Export all pathnames not matching
pat pattern (see below).
INCLUDE/EXCLUDE
PROCESSING
Include and/or exclude patterns may be used to control which
files are exported. There may be multiple include and/or
exclude patterns. The patterns are a file glob the same as
used by bk glob. Patterns are matched against the
partial pathname from the root of the repository. If the
partial pathname matches any of the exclude patterns then
the file is skipped. If there are one or more include
patterns but the partial pathname does not match any of the
include patterns then the file is skipped. Exclude
processing takes precedence over include processing.
When exporting patches there can be ambiguity as to which name is used for include/exclude processing because some files may have been moved in the changes implied by the exported patch. The include/exclude processing always applies to any of file names contained in the changes implied by the patch. For example, suppose you have a file that is currently deleted but at the time of the patch was in src/foo.c. If you told the system to export src/* then the file will be in the set.
