Unlike ClearCase, Subversion does not have elements each with their own history. Rather, the whole repository is versioned with each commit. So, there is no benefit to this syntax: <directory>@revnumber/<file> Instead, use: <directory>/<file>@revnumber The Revision identifies a snapshot of the whole repository, not just some snapshot of a directory. -Steve > > Other challenge is : I need to restore a file element that has been removed > in a very old revision, and of course I don't know which one. > Any search command or script with Subversion ? > > > 2013/6/11 Olivier Antoine <oliviera201...@gmail.com> > Hi, > I'm trying to work with SVN, but coming from ClearCase, I'm lost. > It seems that it is not possible to consult the history of the repository > like in CC, > I can get the history of a file element with svn+annotate, I can use svn+diff > on files, > But for directories : no annotate, no diff - nothing ? > Do I have to check all the repository revision set in order to follow the > changes on a directory element ? > Regards > Olivier
