Thanks for the script. Worked for me, though if you need to provide an absolute path that includes a space, change line 6 to something like the following:

“) DO START “Batch Update SVN” “C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoiseProc.exe” /command:update /path:%%A /closeonend:0″

“Batch Update SVN” was added because if START is followed by an argument in quotes, it uses that as the window name. You can make it anything. Then, you can use quotes in the next argument for your absolute path.

I have been looking all over for a way to start multiple TSVN updates in parallel. Using “START” while calling the command did it for me.
Thanks a lot.

A better solution IMO is to set up a scheduled task. Since I never turn off my computer, your BAT would never run for me. ;) I have a scheduled task that starts TortoiseSVN up every 15 minutes and updates multiple SVN checkouts. Full details (guide + pictures) on my blog.

Robert » I know this. But as I’ve said, I find ToirtoiseSVN GUI unmatched.

Ozh, SVN binaries for Windows are available at http://www.collab.net/downloads/subversion/. The syntax is cross-platform.

Randolf » One man’s opinion. I find Tortoise far from being “half-baked” and much faster to use in a visual environment than a pure command line binary.

If I want to work with command line, I’ll take command line SVN and don’t bother with half-baked SVN clients like Tortoise.

Because TortoiseSVN has its own set of binaries, it isn’t just a frontend that requires you to install vanilla svn first. So, no svn from the commandline.
