svnversion — Summarize the local revision(s) of a working copy.
svnversion is a program for summarizing the revision mixture of a working copy. The resultant revision number, or revision range, is written to standard output.
TRAIL_URL
, if present, is the
trailing portion of the URL used to determine if
WC_PATH
itself is switched
(detection of switches within
WC_PATH
does not rely on
TRAIL_URL
).
Like svnserve, svnversion has no subcommands, it only has switches.
--no-newline
(-n
)Omit the usual trailing newline from the output.
--committed
(-c
)Use the last-changed revisions rather than the current (i.e., highest locally available) revisions.
--help
(-h
)Print a help summary.
--version
Print the version of svnversion and exit with no error.
If the working copy is all at the same revision (for example, immediately after an update), then that revision is printed out:
$ svnversion . 4168
You can add TRAIL_URL to show that the working copy is not switched from what you expect:
$ svnversion . /repos/svn/trunk 4168
For a mixed-revision working copy, the range of revisions present is printed:
$ svnversion . 4123:4168
If the working copy contains modifications, a trailing "M" is added:
$ svnversion . 4168M
If the working copy is switched, a trailing "S" is added:
$ svnversion . 4168S
Thus, here is a mixed-revision, switched working copy containing some local modifications:
$ svnversion . 4212:4168MS
If invoked on a directory that is not a working copy, svnversion assumes it is an exported working copy and prints "exported":
$ svnversion . exported
