copy SVN modified files only to another directory

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?

That works for me:

svn status | grep ^M | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -I '{}' cp --parents {} /backup/

In Windows 8, can use this command in current svn directory:

(FOR /F "tokens=2 delims== " %i IN ('svn st ^| findstr "^[ADMR]"') DO @echo %i & echo f| xcopy /f /y %i c:\projects\backup\%i)

svn status | grep '^[ADMR]' | cut -b 8- | xargs -I '{}' rsync -R  {} /directry/

This would do (bash):

#!/bin/bash
set -eu

# for each modified file
for f in $(svn st| awk '/^M/{print $2}'); do
    # create a directory under backup root and copy the file there
    mkdir -p .../backup/${f%/*} && cp -a $f .../backup/$f
done

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...
