NotesSubversion

These are my notes on using Subversion.

svn add --non-recursive adds a directory without adding its contents.

add skips over directories that are already under version control. To include every unversioned object in the working copy, use svn add * --force.

cat dumpfile svnadmin load /path/to/repo to import from an svn dump file.

To undo changes that have been committed, you can use merge like:

svn merge -rBASE:690 nnimap+fsf\:INBOX.SCORE

This reverts back to r690 of that file.

They changed for dinner. In those days // no one was in a hurry, it was real time // every time. Usually the streets were saddled with fog // at night. In the daytime it mostly blew away. // We kept on living because we knew how. // Maple seeds like paperclips skittered in the allees. // We knew not how many enthusiasts climbed the slope, // nor how long they took. It was, in the words of one, // "beholding" not to know. We eased by.

-- John Ashbery, "Tension in the Rocks"
