Appendix A. Syntax for revisions

Revisions may be given in the same form as for the standard svn client. That means: number, keyword or date.

Number

A number greater or equal -1. -1 means unspecified revision, 0 is the beginning. Normally, these numbers should not be used (most operations will fail with that).

Keyword

One of

  • HEAD

  • BASE

  • COMMITED

  • PREV

  • START

  • WORKING

The keywords are case sensitive! For example, head is not the same as HEAD.

Date

Date in form {YYYY-MM-DD}. It must real MM or DD - e.g. 2005-1-1 must be written as {2005-01-01}.

Appending a specific revision to an URL will always made via ?rev=revision.
