Subversion for revision history and logging on Source codes

Question

I have tried to find some resource for Subversion how to make revision history and logging message on source code; This question might be a simple

We changed our CVS to Subversion. I am having a problem that how to make Revision history and log message to show on source codes. In CVS , we had used

/**
 * Revision:
 *  $Log$
 * 
 *
 *  $Id$
 */

to commit to CVS with log message. I have tried to put "$Revision$ and $Id$" on Source Code to Subversion; however, it does not work to update the Revision history on Source Code.

I used revision mark as follows for Subversion

/**
 * Revision:
 *  $Revision$
 * 
 *
 *  $Id$
 */

Do you have any idea how to add the revision history and comments to source code when the source code is committed ?

Thanks

Answer 1

You need to set the svn:keywords property on the files that you want the keywords replaced in, eg:

svn propset svn:keywords "Date Revision Author Id" *.c

(See here)

Answer 2

Subversion does not offer the 'Log' history as an expandable tag.

You do get Id, Date, Revision etc, but you need to set the 'svn properties' -- see 'svn propset' in the manual or help pages. Good frontends to SVN (as eg the Emacs mode) let you se t these directly as well avoiding the command-line.
