svn checkout [-depth ARG] [--ignore-externals] [-r rev] URL PATH
The depth combo box items relate to the -depth
argument.
If Omit externals is checked,
use the --ignore-externals switch.
If you are checking out a specific revision, specify that
after the URL using -r switch.
svn info URL_of_WC
svn update [-r rev] PATH
Updating multiple items is currently not an atomic operation in Subversion. So TortoiseSVN first finds the HEAD revision of the repository, and then updates all items to that particular revision number to avoid creating a mixed revision working copy.
If only one item is selected for updating or the selected items are not all from the same repository, TortoiseSVN just updates to HEAD.
No command line options are used here. Update to revision also implements the update command, but offers more options.
svn info URL_of_WC
svn update [-r rev] [-depth ARG] [--ignore-externals] PATH
The depth combo box items relate to the -depth
argument.
If Omit externals is checked,
use the --ignore-externals switch.
In TortoiseSVN, the commit dialog uses several Subversion commands. The first stage is a status check which determines the items in your working copy which can potentially be committed. You can review the list, diff files against BASE and select the items you want to be included in the commit.
svn status -v PATH
If Show unversioned files is checked,
TortoiseSVN will also show all unversioned files and folders in
the working copy hierarchy, taking account of the ignore rules.
This particular feature has no direct equivalent in Subversion,
as the svn status command does not descend into
unversioned folders.
If you check any unversioned files and folders, those items will first be added to your working copy.
svn add PATH...
When you click on OK, the Subversion commit takes place. If you have
left all the file selection checkboxes in their default state,
TortoiseSVN uses a single recursive commit of the working copy.
If you deselect some files, then a non-recursive commit
(-N) must be used, and every path must be
specified individually on the commit command line.
svn commit -m "LogMessage" [-depth ARG] [--no-unlock] PATH...
LogMessage here represents the contents of the
log message edit box. This can be empty.
If Keep locks is checked,
use the --no-unlock switch.
svn diff PATH
If you use Diff from the main context menu, you are diffing a modified file against its BASE revision. The output from the CLI command above also does this and produces output in unified-diff format. However, this is not what TortoiseSVN is using. TortoiseSVN uses TortoiseMerge (or a diff program of your choosing) to display differences visually between full-text files, so there is no direct CLI equivalent.
You can also diff any 2 files using TortoiseSVN, whether or not they are version controlled. TortoiseSVN just feeds the two files into the chosen diff program and lets it work out where the differences lie.
svn log -v -r 0:N --limit 100 [--stop-on-copy] PATH
or
svn log -v -r M:N [--stop-on-copy] PATH
By default, TortoiseSVN tries to fetch 100 log messages using the --limit method. If the settings instruct it to use old APIs, then the second form is used to fetch the log messages for 100 repository revisions.
If Stop on copy/rename is checked,
use the --stop-on-copy switch.
svn status -v PATH
or
svn status -u -v PATH
The initial status check looks only at your working copy.
If you click on
then the repository is also checked to see which files
would be changed by an update, which requires the
-u switch.
If Show unversioned files is checked,
TortoiseSVN will also show all unversioned files and folders in
the working copy hierarchy, taking account of the ignore rules.
This particular feature has no direct equivalent in Subversion,
as the svn status command does not descend into
unversioned folders.
The revision graph is a feature of TortoiseSVN only. There's no equivalent in the command line client.
What TortoiseSVN does is an
svn info URL_of_WC
svn log -v URL
where URL is the repository root and then analyzes the data returned.
svn info URL_of_WC
svn list [-r rev] -v URL
You can use svn info to determine the repository
root, which is the top level shown in the repository browser. You
cannot navigate Up above this level.
Also, this command returns all the locking information shown in
the repository browser.
The svn list call will list the contents of a
directory, given a URL and revision.
This command has no CLI equivalent. It invokes TortoiseMerge or an external 3-way diff/merge tool to look at the files involved in the conflict and sort out which lines to use.
svn status -v PATH
The first stage is a status check which determines the items in your working copy which can potentially be reverted. You can review the list, diff files against BASE and select the items you want to be included in the revert.
When you click on OK, the Subversion revert takes place. If you have
left all the file selection checkboxes in their default state,
TortoiseSVN uses a single recursive (-R)
revert of the working copy. If you deselect some files, then
every path must be specified individually on the revert command line.
svn revert [-R] PATH...
svn status -v PATH
The first stage is a status check which determines the files in your working copy which can potentially be locked. You can select the items you want to be locked.
svn lock -m "LockMessage" [--force] PATH...
LockMessage here represents the contents of the
lock message edit box. This can be empty.
If Steal the locks is checked,
use the --force switch.
svn copy -m "LogMessage" URL URL
or
svn copy -m "LogMessage" URL@rev URL@rev
or
svn copy -m "LogMessage" PATH URL
The Branch/Tag dialog performs a copy to the repository. There are 3 radio button options:
which correspond to the 3 command line variants above.
LogMessage here represents the contents of the
log message edit box. This can be empty.
svn merge [--dry-run] --force From_URL@revN To_URL@revM PATH
The performs the same merge
with the --dry-run switch.
svn diff From_URL@revN To_URL@revM
The shows the diff operation which will be used to do the merge.
svn export [-r rev] [--ignore-externals] URL Export_PATH
This form is used when accessed from an unversioned folder, and the folder is used as the destination.
Exporting a working copy to a different location is done without using the Subversion library, so there's no matching command line equivalent.
What TortoiseSVN does is to copy all files to the new location while showing you the progress of the operation. Unversioned files/folders can optionally be exported too.
In both cases,
if Omit externals is checked,
use the --ignore-externals switch.
svn add PATH...
If you selected a folder, TortoiseSVN first scans it recursively for items which can be added.
svn import -m LogMessage PATH URL
LogMessage here represents the contents of the
log message edit box. This can be empty.
svn blame -r N:M -v PATH
svn log -r N:M PATH
If you use TortoiseBlame to view the blame info, the file log is also required to show log messages in a tooltip. If you view blame as a text file, this information is not required.
svn propget svn:ignore PATH > tempfile
{edit new ignore item into tempfile}
svn propset svn:ignore -F tempfile PATH
Because the svn:ignore property is often
a multi-line value, it is shown here as being changed via
a text file rather than directly on the command line.
svn diff PATH > patch-file
TortoiseSVN creates a patch file in unified diff format by comparing the working copy with its BASE version.
