SVN: is it possible to get svn info for a given revision number of a branch

Is it possible to get svn info for a branch for a specific revision number. For example if the latest working copy of a branch has revision number 56, can I get info for the same branch for revsion number 32.

Solution

  • There are two options available to get informatioon about past revisions:

    • svn log -r <rev number> <url>: the commit message of a specified revision and url
    • svn info -r <rev number> <url>: some technical information about a specified revision and url

    An example: svn log -r 5628 https://repo.exampl.org/prod/branches/info/conf/config

    It is all described in the help messages built into the svn command: svn help or svn help info...
