SVN quick reference
The following is modified from an email sent by Prof. Smith on the use of the command line svn program under linux here at CS
To checkout (co) repository for first time
- cd on your local machine to where you want your project working directory to be created
- enter the command: svn co https://OUR_SVN_SERVER/svn/project_myproj 1)
To check the status of a *particular* file
svn status <filename>
To show *which* files have been updated
svn status -u
To compare working version with repository's
svn diff <filename>
To see a file's activity log
svn log [--verbose] <filename>
To update your own working copy
svn update
To commit changes
svn commit -m "description text"
To add a file or directory
Notes on svn add:
- by default, svn adds dirs recursively
- this command must be followed by a commit!
svn add <file-or-dir-name>

I am leaving out the name of our svn server to keep it from being gleaned and then attacked. If you forget what it is called please write me or your professor. Sorry for the hassle - Greg
