Version Control with Subversion, 2nd Edition

Name

svnlook changed — Print the paths that were changed.

Synopsis

svnlook changed REPOS_PATH

Description

Print the paths that were changed in a particular revision or transaction, as well as svn update-style status letters in the first two columns:

'A '

Item added to repository

'D '

Item deleted from repository

'U '

File contents changed

'_U'

Properties of item changed; note the leading underscore

'UU'

File contents and properties changed

Files and directories can be distinguished, as directory paths are displayed with a trailing / character.

Options

--copy-info
--revision (-r) REV
--transaction (-t) TXN

Examples

This shows a list of all the changed files and directories in revision 39 of a test repository. Note that the first changed item is a directory, as evidenced by the trailing /:

$ svnlook changed -r 39 /var/svn/repos
A   trunk/vendors/deli/
A   trunk/vendors/deli/chips.txt
A   trunk/vendors/deli/sandwich.txt
A   trunk/vendors/deli/pickle.txt
U   trunk/vendors/baker/bagel.txt
_U  trunk/vendors/baker/croissant.txt
UU  trunk/vendors/baker/pretzel.txt
D   trunk/vendors/baker/baguette.txt

Here’s an example that shows a revision in which a file was renamed:

$ svnlook changed -r 64 /var/svn/repos
A   trunk/vendors/baker/toast.txt
D   trunk/vendors/baker/bread.txt

Unfortunately, nothing in the preceding output reveals the connection between the deleted and added files. Use the --copy-info option to make this relationship more apparent:

$ svnlook changed -r 64 --copy-info /var/svn/repos A + trunk/vendors/baker/toast.txt ...
