How to update multi-working-copy one time.

AlanTop talk about "How to update multi-working-copy one time." on his blog. I found that is not the most effective way. To update[1] multi-working-copy one time just:
  • If we use TortoiseSVN, just multi-select the top folders of these working copies[2] and the (right click) shell menu -> update (or other commands). That's it.
  • Or, if you use command line, the most powerful effective way.
svn up d:/project01 e:/path/project02 f:/dir/dir2/project03
  1. [1] For commands like commit will not work.
  2. [2] Of course this needs the top folders of working copies are in the same folder due to the windows shell limitation.
