Subversion

Create an empty directory first and specify it (/net/home/Tbow/svn)

svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs svn/

To import a directory into svn database

svn import Example file

///net/home/Tbow/svn/example -m "Example code"

Used to checkout an already imported directory and the example directory doesn't have to be in the svn directory in order to bring it down to a working dir (./)

svn checkout file

///net/home/Tbow/svn/example/ ./

svn checkout -r 1 file

///net/home/Tbow/svn/example/ ./

You must use this command to delete the files and then commit, otherwise just removing the files (rm) will not be enough for this change to be committed.

svn delete *.class

To add new files to be commited use this command

svn add exam.java

svn commit * -m "Just before cleanup of code"

This will update your current working directory from the database.

svn update

This will list all the subdirectories you imported above.

svn list file

///net/home/Tbow/svn/

This will list all the revision numbers associated with this directory in the db.

svn log file

///net/home/Tbow/svn/example/
