SVN commands

The typical work cycle will use the following commands:

When working on a project with a team, you'll want to update your working copy to receive changes made by other developers since your last update

$svn update
U  filename1.c
U  filename2.c
Updated to revision 2.

U <filename> - file was updated (received changes from the server)

svn add filename1.c

svn delete filename1.c

svn copy filename1.c filename2.c

svn move filename1.c filename2.c

After you've made changes, it's a good idea to take a look at exactly what you've changed before committing them to the repository.

$svn status

This will detact all file and tree changes you've made

By passing a specific path, you will get information about that item alone:

$svn status stuff/filename3.c
D    stuff/filename3.c

D <filename/directory> - File or directory was deleted from your working copy

A <filename/directory> - File or directory was added to your working copy

svn commit

svn diff --revision 1:4 helloworld.cpp

This example allows us to see what's changed between the first and fourth revision of the helloworld.cpp file.
