NAME

SVK::Command::Info - Display information about a file or directory

SYNOPSIS

 info [PATH | DEPOTPATH]...

OPTIONS

 -R [--recursive]       : descend recursively

DESCRIPTION

For example, here's the way to display the info of a checkout path:

 % svk info ~/dev/svk
 Checkout Path: /Users/gugod/dev/svk
 Depot Path: //svk/local
 Revision: 447
 Last Changed Rev.: 447
 Last Changed Date: 2006-11-28
 Copied From: /svk/trunk, Rev. 434
 Merged From: /svk/trunk, Rev. 445

You can see the result has some basic information: the actual depot path, and current revision. Next are advanced information about copy and merge source for this depot path.

The result of svk info //svk/local is almost the same as above, except for the Checkout Path: line is not there, because you are not referring to a checkout path.

Note that the revision numbers on Copied From: and Merged From: lines are for the source path (//svk/trunk), not the target path (//svk/local). The example above state that, //svk/local is copied from the revision 434 of //svk/trunk, and //svk/local was merged from the revision 445 of //svk/trunk. Hence if you do a svk log -r 434 //svk/local, svk would tell you that //svk/local does not exist at revision 434.

So far there is no easy way to tell the actual revision number of //svk/local right after a copy or merge.

If the target is a depot path, or the corresponding depot path of the target checkout path is actually a mirroring path, the output of this command will look like this:

 % svk info //svk/trunk
 Depot Path: //svk/trunk
 Revision: 447
 Last Changed Rev.: 445
 Mirrored From: svn://svn.clkao.org/svk, Rev. 1744

So you can see this depot path is mirrored from a remote repository, and so far mirrored up to revision 1744.
