How to use svn commands in Cygwin

How can I use svn export, svn checkout etc commands in Cygwin?

Do I need to install any other feature? I am using version 2.738.

For example, I'd like to be able to run

svn export http://svn/trunk/Test/code /TESTEXPORT
Solution

  • Yes, you do. Check the packagelist in the cygwin setup.exe, and pick all the svn-like packages then install them. For typical usage such as update, commit, show history it's almost perfect.

    UPDATE
    (not to steal credit but apparently an important addition)

    The package "subversion" should be installed as well.
