How to get an earlier reversion from a SVN repository?

Question

Dear developers,

If I execute this command

svn co https://ltfat.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ltfat ltfat

will I get the latest reversion, which is 908.

But I would really like to have reversion 901.

Does someone know how I can do that?

Lots of love, Louise

Answer 1

Pass the -r flag

E.g.

svn co -r901 https://ltfat.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ltfat ltfat

Or, you can update your existing checkout to an older revision:

svn up -r901

Answer 2

Add --revision 901 before the url

Answer 3

svn cat

Please read svn help cat for details.

Answer 4

You can suffix the URL with @revno to get what you want. So something like

svn co https://ltfat.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ltfat@901 ltfat

should do the trick. The -r (--revision) option gives you more fine grained control and can also do things to revision ranges (although I'm not sure about the usefulness of this to the checkout command). You can get more details with

svn help checkout
