SVN

The main resource of information for subversion is the red book. Here I list a few important commands for fast reference.

Create a new repository:

1. On the server: svnadmin create /svndir/reposname
2. From the client: svn co svn://ip_address/reposname

3. cd reposname
   mkdir trunk
   mkdir tags
   mkdir branch
   svn add *
   svn ci

Save and restore a repository:

1. Create a dump: svnadmin dump /svndir/repos/gwt > /backupDir/svn_gwt.dump
2. Create the repository: svnadmin create /svndir/repos/gwt
3. Load the repository: svnadmin load /svndir/repos/gwt < /backupDir/svn_gwt.dump

Examining the history of a repository:

•  Shows revisions 5 to 19 of a file or directory: svn log -r 5:19 file/directory_name
•  "svn diff" with no options compares the working directory with the version from the last check out.
