Synopsis

svn export [-r REV] URL[@PEGREV] [PATH]

svn export [-r REV] PATH1[@PEGREV] [PATH2]

Description

The first form exports a clean directory tree from the repository specified by URL, at revision REV if it is given, otherwise at HEAD, into PATH. If PATH is omitted, the last component of the URL is used for the local directory name.

The second form exports a clean directory tree from the working copy specified by PATH1 into PATH2. All local changes will be preserved, but files not under version control will not be copied.

When rolling operating-system-specific release packages, it can be useful to export a tree which uses a specific EOL character for line endings. The --native-eol option will do this, but it only affects files that have svn:eol-style = native properties attached to them. For example, to export a tree with all CRLF line endings (possibly for a Windows .zip file distribution):

$ svn export file://tmp/repos my-export --native-eol CRLF
A  my-export/test
A  my-export/quiz
…
Exported revision 15.
