SVN Keyword Substitution

Last updated: 2008 Sep 11

To enable keyword substitution that will give the tag info, give the command:

svn propset:keywords "URL" foo.c

where foo.c is the name of a file in the SVN repository (doc).
Then in that file, foo.c, the statement:

static char *url = "$URL:";

will become, after giving the command svn commit, for example:

static char *url = "$URL: http:/blah.com/svn/trunk/foo.c $";

*Subversion subsitution keywords:*
Date	last date/time of change in the repositoty
Revision (Rev)	last know revision number
Author	use who made last change
HeadURL	full URL to latest version of file
Id	filename Rev Date Author

A way to get a complete list of tags is the svn command:

svn ls --verbose http://blah.com/svn/trunk/
