svn info — Display information about a local or remote item.
svn info [TARGET[@REV]...]
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
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 Working Copy Root Path: /home/sally/projects/test URL: http://svn.red-bean.com/repos/test/foo.c Relative URL: ^/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 Working Copy Root Path: /home/sally/projects/test URL: http://svn.red-bean.com/repos/test/vendors Relative URL: ^/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 Relative URL: ^/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> <relative-url>^/</relative-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>
