NAME
svnpath - output svn url with support for tags and branches
SYNOPSIS
svnpath
svnpath tags
svnpath branches
svnpath trunk
DESCRIPTION
svnpath is intended to be run in a subversion working copy.
In its simplest usage, svnpath with no parameters outputs the svn url
for the repository associated with the working copy.
If a parameter is given, svnpath attempts to instead output the url
that would be used for the tags, branches, or trunk. This will only
work if it's run in the top-level directory that is subject to tagging
or branching.
For example, if you want to tag what's checked into subversion as
version 1.0, you could use a command like this:
svn cp $(svnpath) $(svnpath tags)/1.0
That's much easier than using svn info to look up the repository url
and manually modifying it to derive the url to use for the tag, and
typing in something like this:
svn cp svn+ssh://my.server.example/svn/project/trunk svn+ssh://my.server.example/svn/project/tags/1.0
svnpath uses a simple heuristic to convert between the trunk, tags, and
branches paths. It replaces the first occurrence of "trunk", "tags", or
"branches" with the name of what you're looking for. This will work ok
for most typical subversion repository layouts.
If you have an atypical layout and it does not work, you can add a
~/.svnpath file. This file is perl code, which can modify the path in
$url. For example, the author uses this file:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# svnpath personal override file
# For d-i I sometimes work from a full d-i tree branch. Remove that from
# the path to get regular tags or branches directories.
