svnlook Reference—Subversion Repository Examination

svnlook Options

--copy-info

Causes svnlook changed to show detailed copy source information.

--diff-cmd CMD

Specifies an external program to use to show differences between files. When svnlook diff is invoked without this option, it uses Subversion's internal differencing engine, which provides unified diffs by default. If you want to use an external differencing program, use --diff-cmd. You can then pass options to the specified program using the --extensions (-x) option.

--diff-copy-from

Print differences for copied items against the copy source.

--extensions (-x) ARG

Specifies customizations which Subversion should make when performing difference calculations. Valid extensions include:

--ignore-space-change (-b)

Ignore changes in the amount of white space.

--ignore-all-space (-w)

Ignore all white space.

--ignore-eol-style

Ignore changes in EOL (end-of-line) style.

--show-c-function (-p)

Show C function names in the diff output.

--unified (-u)

Show three lines of unified diff context.

The default value is -u.

Note that when Subversion is configured to invoke an external diff command, the value of the --extension (-x) option isn't restricted to the previously mentioned options, but may be any additional arguments which Subversion should pass to that command. If you wish to pass multiple arguments, you must enclose all of them in quotes.

--full-paths

Causes svnlook tree to display full paths instead of hierarchical, indented path components.

--ignore-properties

Instructs svnlook diff to show only property changes.

--limit (-l) ARG

Limit output to a maximum number of ARG items.

--no-diff-deleted

Prevents svnlook diff from printing differences for deleted files. The default behavior when a file is deleted in a transaction/revision is to print the same differences that you would see if you had left the file but removed all the content.

--no-diff-added

Prevents svnlook diff from printing differences for added files. The default behavior when you add a file is to print the same differences that you would see if you had added the entire contents of an existing (empty) file.

--non-recursive (-N)

Operate on a single directory only.

--properties-only

Instructs svnlook diff to suppress output of property changes.

--revision (-r)

Specifies a particular revision number that you wish to examine.

--revprop

Operates on a revision property instead of a property specific to a file or directory. This option requires that you also pass a revision with the --revision (-r) option.

--show-inherited-props

Works with svnlook propget and svnlook proplist to display the versioned properties inherited by a path.

--transaction (-t)

Specifies a particular transaction ID that you wish to examine.

--show-ids

Shows the filesystem node revision IDs for each path in the filesystem tree.

--verbose (-v)

Be verbose. When used with svnlook proplist, for example, this causes Subversion to display not just the list of properties, but their values also.

--xml
