"git add" equivalent in svn?

To commit some changes to a git repo I must add it to the staged state first. If I don't add a file to commit it will not go to the repo.

But in SVN, apparently, there is no such staging state. And every change I made to my working copy goes to the repo with next svn commit. How can I prevent some locally changed files get commited without reverting the changes?

You can give specific filenames and directories to svn commit via something like:

svn commit myfile.c

which will only commit that one file.

The svn commit command takes optional filename parameters that limit the set of files to commit:

svn commit -m "my commit" file1.txt file2.txt

You can also use the "changelist" feature to group one or more files into a changelist, which can be submitted in one command. This is still slightly less flexible than Git, because you can't add just a portion of a single file (such as with git add -p).
