I was trying add the retina icon to SVN but seem to have trouble checking it in.

I tried svn add Icon@2x.png svn add Icon\@2x.png but neither of them works.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks RS

What is the error you are getting? –  omermuhammed May 25 '11 at 0:45
I typed in svn add "Icon@2x.png" and got svn: warning: 'Icon' not found –  sram May 25 '11 at 0:48

You need to do this ...

svn add Icon@2x.png@

Thanks. That worked. –  sram May 25 '11 at 0:51

It doesn't matter how you escape the '@' symbol, the reason this happens is because SVN thinks the last '@' is to specify a revision number (@REV format). To get around it you need to put another '@' symbol at the end of the file-name.

svn add Icon@2x.png@

If you need to add multiple files it can be a pain to type them all in manually, but you can use xargs to automate this:

ls *2x.png | xargs -I x svn add x@
