Name
svn mkdir — Create a new directory under version control.
Synopsis
svn mkdir PATH...svn mkdir URL...Description
Create a directory with a name given by the final
component of the PATH or
URL. A directory specified by a working
copy PATH is scheduled for addition in
the working copy, whereas a directory specified by a URL is created
in the repository via an immediate commit. Multiple directory URLs
are committed atomically. In both cases, all the intermediate
directories must already exist unless the --parents
option is used.
Alternate names
None.
Changes
Working copy; repository if operating on a URL.
Accesses repository
Only if operating on a URL.
Options
--editor-cmdEDITOR--encodingENC--file (-F)FILE--force-log --message (-m)TEXT--parents --quiet (-q) --with-revpropARG
Examples
Create a directory in your working copy:
$ svn mkdir newdir A newdir
Create one in the repository (this is an instant commit, so a log message is required):
$ svn mkdir -m "Making a new dir." http://svn.red-bean.com/repos/newdir Committed revision 26.
