This documentation was written to describe the 1.6.x series of Subversion. If you are running a different version of Subversion, you are strongly encouraged to visit http://www.svnbook.com/ and instead consult the version of this documentation appropriate for your version of Subversion.
svn info — Display information about a local or remote item.
Print information about the working copy paths or URLs specified. The information displayed for each path may include (as pertinent to the object at that path):
information about the repository in which the object is versioned
the most recent commit made to the specified version of the object
any user-level locks held on the object
local scheduling information (added, deleted, copied, etc.)
local conflict information
--changelist ARG --depth ARG --incremental --recursive (-R) --revision (-r) REV --targets FILENAME --xml
svn info will show you all the useful information that it has for items in your working copy. It will show information for files:
$ svn info foo.c Path: foo.c Name: foo.c URL: http://svn.red-bean.com/repos/test/foo.c Repository Root: http://svn.red-bean.com/repos/test Repository UUID: 5e7d134a-54fb-0310-bd04-b611643e5c25 Revision: 4417 Node Kind: file Schedule: normal Last Changed Author: sally Last Changed Rev: 20 Last Changed Date: 2003-01-13 16:43:13 -0600 (Mon, 13 Jan 2003) Text Last Updated: 2003-01-16 21:18:16 -0600 (Thu, 16 Jan 2003) Properties Last Updated: 2003-01-13 21:50:19 -0600 (Mon, 13 Jan 2003) Checksum: d6aeb60b0662ccceb6bce4bac344cb66
It will also show information for directories:
$ svn info vendors Path: vendors URL: http://svn.red-bean.com/repos/test/vendors Repository Root: http://svn.red-bean.com/repos/test Repository UUID: 5e7d134a-54fb-0310-bd04-b611643e5c25 Revision: 19 Node Kind: directory Schedule: normal Last Changed Author: harry Last Changed Rev: 19 Last Changed Date: 2003-01-16 23:21:19 -0600 (Thu, 16 Jan 2003) Properties Last Updated: 2003-01-16 23:39:02 -0600 (Thu, 16 Jan 2003)
svn info also acts on URLs (also
note that the file readme.doc in
this example is locked, so lock information is also
provided):
$ svn info http://svn.red-bean.com/repos/test/readme.doc Path: readme.doc Name: readme.doc URL: http://svn.red-bean.com/repos/test/readme.doc Repository Root: http://svn.red-bean.com/repos/test Repository UUID: 5e7d134a-54fb-0310-bd04-b611643e5c25 Revision: 1 Node Kind: file Schedule: normal Last Changed Author: sally Last Changed Rev: 42 Last Changed Date: 2003-01-14 23:21:19 -0600 (Tue, 14 Jan 2003) Lock Token: opaquelocktoken:14011d4b-54fb-0310-8541-dbd16bd471b2 Lock Owner: harry Lock Created: 2003-01-15 17:35:12 -0600 (Wed, 15 Jan 2003) Lock Comment (1 line): My test lock comment
Lastly, svn info output is
available in XML format by passing
the --xml option:
$ svn info --xml http://svn.red-bean.com/repos/test <?xml version="1.0"?> <info> <entry kind="dir" path="." revision="1"> <url>http://svn.red-bean.com/repos/test</url> <repository> <root>http://svn.red-bean.com/repos/test</root> <uuid>5e7d134a-54fb-0310-bd04-b611643e5c25</uuid> </repository> <wc-info> <schedule>normal</schedule> <depth>infinity</depth> </wc-info> <commit revision="1"> <author>sally</author> <date>2003-01-15T23:35:12.847647Z</date> </commit> </entry> </info>
