copy SVN modified files only to another directory

Question

I have a list of files in my current working copy that have been modified locally. There are about 50 files that have been changed. I can get a list of these files by doing this: ``` svn st | ack '^M' ``` Is there a way I can copy these files and only these files to another directory, which is called `backup`?

Accepted Answer

Assuming ack is like grep... you could do something like:

```
cp `svn st | ack '^M' | cut -b 8-` backup
```

I'd post this as a comment... but I don't know how to escape the backticks in comments...
