svn-xattr

A command-line utility to facilitate using the Subversion VCS to manage files with extended attributes (a.k.a. xattrs, metadata, macOS Resource Forks, macOS Rez, macOS File Type and Creator, AppleSingle, AppleDouble, Finder information, detritus).

Installation

brew install smokris/svn-xattr/svn-xattr

Example: storing a macOS Alias in a Subversion repo

Say you've created a macOS Alias (created with Finder; a.k.a. Bookmark; not to be confused with symlink) called my-alias in your working-copy folder.

cd working-copy
svn add my-alias
svn-xattr update my-alias
svn commit

Then, when checking out the repo:

svn update
svn-xattr restore
