Branch Maintenance

Repository layout:

• trunk directory - "main line" of development

• branches directory - branch copies

• tag directory - tag copies

SVN commands

The typical work cycle will use the following commands:

• Update your working copy

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  foo.c
U  bar.c
Updated to revision 2.

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

• Make changes

svn add

svn delete

svn copy

svn move

• Examine your changes

svn update

svn resolved

• Commit your changes

svn commit

More commands

• Compare changes from one revision to another:

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.
