Table 4.2. Parameter for subversion commands
| Parameter | Possible values | allowed for |
|---|---|---|
-r | revision or startrev:endrev | all except commit |
-R | (none) | all except commit |
-o | filename | get |
-l | number | log |
-f | (none) | (un-)lock |
Log command displays a dialog containing the log of the given URL. With subversion 1.2 or above it accepts a limit, i.e. how many entries it has to display.
Inside that dialog you may select log entries and get the differences between them.
Example 4.1. Display the last 20 commit logs
kdesvn exec log -l 20 -r HEAD:1 myfile.c
Beware of order of revision: You want go from HEAD to START for the LAST one. So you must give revision HEAD as starting point, otherwise you would get the first 20 entries.
You get differences between revisions of an item or between two items inside same working copy or repository. When diff'ing revisions of an item, revisions may be given as -r . When diffing an item inside a working copy without any revisions it prints the diff against repository.
STARTREV:ENDREV
When diffing two items revisions may be appended to URL of items. e.g.:
http://server/path/item?rev=HEAD
Example 4.4. Diffing two tagged versions
kdesvn exec diff http://www.alwins-world.de/repos/kdesvn/tags/rel_0_6_2 http://www.alwins-world.de/repos/kdesvn/tags/rel_0_6_3
