log: Show the log messages for a set of revision(s) and/or path(s). usage: 1. log [PATH][@REV] 2. log URL[@REV] [PATH...] 1. Print the log messages for the URL corresponding to PATH (default: '.'). If specified, REV is the revision in which the URL is first looked up, and the default revision range is REV:1. If REV is not specified, the default revision range is BASE:1, since the URL might not exist in the HEAD revision. 2. Print the log messages for the PATHs (default: '.') under URL. If specified, REV is the revision in which the URL is first looked up, and the default revision range is REV:1; otherwise, the URL is looked up in HEAD, and the default revision range is HEAD:1. Multiple '-c' or '-r' options may be specified (but not a combination of '-c' and '-r' options), and mixing of forward and reverse ranges is allowed. With -v, also print all affected paths with each log message. Each changed path is preceded with a symbol describing the change: A: The path was added or copied. D: The path was deleted. R: The path was replaced (deleted and re-added in the same revision). M: The path's file and/or property content was modified. If an added or replaced path was copied from somewhere else, the copy source path and revision are shown in parentheses. If a file or directory was moved from one path to another with 'svn move' the old path will be listed as deleted and the new path will be listed as copied from the old path at a prior revision. With -q, don't print the log message body itself (note that this is compatible with -v). Each log message is printed just once, even if more than one of the affected paths for that revision were explicitly requested. Logs follow copy history by default. Use --stop-on-copy to disable this behavior, which can be useful for determining branchpoints. The --depth option is only valid in combination with the --diff option and limits the scope of the displayed diff to the specified depth. If the --search option is used, log messages are displayed only if the provided search pattern matches any of the author, date, log message text (unless --quiet is used), or, if the --verbose option is also provided, a changed path. The search pattern may include "glob syntax" wildcards: ? matches any single character * matches a sequence of arbitrary characters [abc] matches any of the characters listed inside the brackets If multiple --search options are provided, a log message is shown if it matches any of the provided search patterns. If the --search-and option is used, that option's argument is combined with the pattern from the previous --search or --search-and option, and a log message is shown only if it matches the combined search pattern. If --limit is used in combination with --search, --limit restricts the number of log messages searched, rather than restricting the output to a particular number of matching log messages. Examples: Show the latest 5 log messages for the current working copy directory and display paths changed in each commit: svn log -l 5 -v Show the log for bar.c as of revision 42: svn log bar.c@42 Show log messages and diffs for each commit to foo.c: svn log --diff http://www.example.com/repo/project/foo.c (Because the above command uses a full URL it does not require a working copy.) Show log messages for the children foo.c and bar.c of the directory '/trunk' as it appeared in revision 50, using the ^/ URL shortcut: svn log ^/trunk@50 foo.c bar.c Show the log messages for any incoming changes to foo.c during the next 'svn update': svn log -r BASE:HEAD foo.c Show the log message for the revision in which /branches/foo was created: svn log --stop-on-copy --limit 1 -r0:HEAD ^/branches/foo Show all log messages for commits between the tags ^/tags/2.0 and ^/tags/3.0; assuming that tag 2.0 was created in revision 100: svn log -rHEAD:100 ^/tags/3.0 If ^/trunk/foo.c was moved to ^/trunk/bar.c' in revision 22, 'svn log -v' shows a deletion and a copy in its changed paths list, such as: D /trunk/foo.c A /trunk/bar.c (from /trunk/foo.c:21) Valid options: -r [--revision] ARG : ARG (some commands also take ARG1:ARG2 range) A revision argument can be one of: NUMBER revision number '{' DATE '}' revision at start of the date 'HEAD' latest in repository 'BASE' base rev of item's working copy 'COMMITTED' last commit at or before BASE 'PREV' revision just before COMMITTED -c [--change] ARG : the change made in revision ARG -q [--quiet] : do not print the log message -v [--verbose] : also print all affected paths -g [--use-merge-history] : use/display additional information from merge history --targets ARG : pass contents of file ARG as additional args --stop-on-copy : do not cross copies while traversing history --incremental : give output suitable for concatenation --xml : output in XML -l [--limit] ARG : maximum number of log entries --with-all-revprops : retrieve all revision properties --with-no-revprops : retrieve no revision properties --with-revprop ARG : retrieve revision property ARG --depth ARG : limit operation by depth ARG ('empty', 'files', 'immediates', or 'infinity') --diff : produce diff output --diff-cmd ARG : use ARG as diff command --internal-diff : override diff-cmd specified in config file -x [--extensions] ARG : Specify differencing options for external diff or internal diff or blame. Default: '-u'. Options are separated by spaces. Internal diff and blame take: -u, --unified: Show 3 lines of unified context -b, --ignore-space-change: Ignore changes in amount of white space -w, --ignore-all-space: Ignore all white space --ignore-eol-style: Ignore changes in EOL style -U ARG, --context ARG: Show ARG lines of context -p, --show-c-function: Show C function name --search ARG : use ARG as search pattern (glob syntax, case- and accent-insensitive, may require quotation marks to prevent shell expansion) --search-and ARG : combine ARG with the previous search pattern (Use '-v' to show global and experimental options.) switch (sw): Update the working copy to a different URL within the same repository. usage: 1. switch URL[@PEGREV] [PATH] 2. switch --relocate FROM-PREFIX TO-PREFIX [PATH...] 1. Update the working copy to mirror a new URL within the repository. This behavior is similar to 'svn update', and is the way to move a working copy to a branch or tag within the same repository. If specified, PEGREV determines in which revision the target is first looked up. If --force is used, unversioned obstructing paths in the working copy do not automatically cause a failure if the switch attempts to add the same path. If the obstructing path is the same type (file or directory) as the corresponding path in the repository it becomes versioned but its contents are left 'as-is' in the working copy. This means that an obstructing directory's unversioned children may also obstruct and become versioned. For files, any content differences between the obstruction and the repository are treated like a local modification to the working copy. All properties from the repository are applied to the obstructing path. Use the --set-depth option to set a new working copy depth on the targets of this operation. By default, Subversion will refuse to switch a working copy path to a new URL with which it shares no common version control ancestry. Use the '--ignore-ancestry' option to override this sanity check. 2. The '--relocate' option is deprecated. This syntax is equivalent to 'svn relocate FROM-PREFIX TO-PREFIX [PATH]'. See also 'svn help update' for a list of possible characters reporting the action taken. Examples: svn switch ^/branches/1.x-release Valid options: -r [--revision] ARG : ARG (some commands also take ARG1:ARG2 range) A revision argument can be one of: NUMBER revision number '{' DATE '}' revision at start of the date 'HEAD' latest in repository 'BASE' base rev of item's working copy 'COMMITTED' last commit at or before BASE 'PREV' revision just before COMMITTED -N [--non-recursive] : obsolete; same as --depth=files --depth ARG : limit operation by depth ARG ('empty', 'files', 'immediates', or 'infinity') --set-depth ARG : set new working copy depth to ARG ('exclude', 'empty', 'files', 'immediates', or 'infinity') -q [--quiet] : print nothing, or only summary information --diff3-cmd ARG : use ARG as merge command --ignore-externals : ignore externals definitions --ignore-ancestry : allow switching to a node with no common ancestor --force : handle unversioned obstructions as changes --accept ARG : specify automatic conflict resolution action ('postpone', 'working', 'base', 'mine-conflict', 'theirs-conflict', 'mine-full', 'theirs-full', 'edit', 'launch', 'recommended') (shorthand: 'p', 'mc', 'tc', 'mf', 'tf', 'e', 'l', 'r') --relocate : deprecated; use 'svn relocate' (Use '-v' to show global and experimental options.)
