SVN tricks
To compare the current working copy with other versions, or just
to see what other tagged versions are available, it is handy to know
the revision number, which is what svn bases all its operations on. The
best way to do this is with the long (verbose) form of svn ls as
shown below. Note, I am in the 'trunk' directory of my AutoNav
project.
bill@charcoal:trunk$ <strong>svn ls -v ../tags</strong>
327606 wlindley Dec 31 11:41 ./
175035 wlindley Nov 18 2009 1.1.8/
175037 wlindley Nov 18 2009 1.1.9/
187455 wlindley Dec 27 2009 1.2.2/
192298 wlindley Jan 10 2010 1.2.3/
193267 wlindley Jan 12 2010 1.2.4/

307532 wlindley Nov 03 14:52 1.2.9/
308944 wlindley Nov 07 12:57 1.3.0/
311196 wlindley Nov 13 16:28 1.3.1/
312023 wlindley Nov 15 22:33 1.3.2/
320048 wlindley Dec 07 06:34 1.3.3/
320583 wlindley Dec 08 11:05 1.3.4/
327606 wlindley Dec 31 11:41 1.3.5/
bill@charcoal:trunk$
The revision numbers are at left. Now I can do:
bill@charcoal:trunk$ svn diff -r 320583

<em>and so on</em>
It sure would be nice if there were a way to combine both local working
copy and a remote tag in an svn diff command, but that does not seem
to be suppported yet (as of svn 1.6).
