Pre-Commit Rake Task

Every time I'm going to commit code I try to follow the same steps:

• Add unadded files to Subversion (svn add)
  
• Delete missing files from Subversion (svn rm)
  
• Update my local files from Subversion (svn up)
  
• Run the tests (rake)
  
• Display the status of the files (svn st)

Since I do this often, it makes sense to pull this into some kind of process:

namespace :svn do
  task :st do
    puts %x[svn st]
  end

  task :up do
    puts %x[svn up]
  end

  task :add do
    %x[svn st].split(/\n/).each do |line|
      trimmed_line = line.delete('?').lstrip
      if line[0,1] =~ /\?/
        %x[svn add #{trimmed_line}]
        puts %[added #{trimmed_line}]
      end
    end
  end
  
  task :delete do
    %x[svn st].split(/\n/).each do |line|
      trimmed_line = line.delete('!').lstrip
      if line[0,1] =~ /\!/
        %x[svn rm #{trimmed_line}]
        puts %[removed #{trimmed_line}]
      end
    end
  end
end

desc "Run before checking in"
task :pc => ['svn:add', 'svn:delete', 'svn:up', :default, 'svn:st']

If you add the above code to a .rake file in lib/tasks you can simply run rake pc when you are ready to commit. If everything executes successfully, you are ready to commit.

Obviously, this only works for Subversion, but you are using Subversion anyway, right?
