How to recursively copy files from a list in Linux?

Question

linux

There is such a problem. There are many folders and files and some of them are under .svn. It is necessary to copy, keeping the structure, only files and folders that are under .svn into a separate folder. To get a list of files and folders under svn I use the command svn list > ~/file.txt . How can I get the structure of files and folders from this list only?

Answer 1

Since it is necessary to preserve the directory structure, you should not forget about the --parents option, otherwise you will end up with an "all-in-one-directory" mess.
svn list | xargs -I % cp --parents -v % target

Answer 2

$ cat list.txt
one
two.txt
three.rtf

$ cat list.txt | xargs -J % echo cp % new_folder
cp one two.txt three.rtf new_folder

$ cat list.txt | xargs -I % echo cp % new_folder
cp one new_folder
cp two.txt new_folder
cp three.rtf new_folder

Answer 3

I did svn list -R | xargs -I % cp --parents -v % target, but folders are skipped with messages cp: omitting directory 'directory'if you specify

svn list -R | xargs -I % cp -r --parents -v % target

, then cp starts copying everything and .svn folders including
