the book

Create a repository

svnadmin create pathToRepo

Checkout

svn co URL

or

svn checkout URL

svn:ignore

Create a Pattern to ignore certain files in a directory

svn propedit svn:ignore directory

then enter a regex, one per line and svn will ignore it, global ignores can be put into $HOME/.subversion/config behind the global-ignores key.

reverting file to old revision

A common task: You accidently commited a file and want to revert it to the previous revision. You can do this with reverse-merging (this is by the book!)

svn merge -r BADREVISION:GOODREVISION filename

usually: GOODREVISION:=BADREVISION-1

Scripts triggered by svn events

In the pathToRepos/hooks are template for scripts that are triggered by svn-events such as commits etc.

comparing/viewing changes

To see the differences between revision number 3 and the actual repository:

svn diff --revision 3 file.name

or between to revisions:

svn diff --revision 3:2 file.name

If file.name is ommited the whole repository is searched.

syncing two repositorys

[alex] has written a nice short howto for that [here]
