In Mac and iOS development it is common to have files that contain the @ sign (e.g. [email protected]).
If you want to check these kinds of files into a Subversion repository, it won't work:
% svn add MyImage.png
A (bin) MyImage.png
% svn add [email protected]
svn: warning: 'MyImage' not found
How can these files be added to svn repositories?
If a file name contains @, Subversion expects it to be followed by a revision number. Fortunately this is only enforced for the last @ in the file name so the solution is to add a 2nd @:
% svn add [email protected]@
A (bin) [email protected]
This is actually a problem for any svn command, not just svn add. For instance, this fails...
% svn status [email protected]
svn: syntax error parsing revision '2x.png'
...and the extra @ works just as well to fix it:
% svn status [email protected]@
Path: [email protected]
Name: [email protected]
URL: . . .
