This guide is purposefully high-level: most tutorials throw a bunch of text commands at you. Let’s cover the high-level concepts without getting stuck in the syntax (the Subversion manual is always there, don’t worry). Sometimes it’s nice to see what’s possible.
Checkins
The simplest scenario is checking in a file (list.txt) and modifying it over time.
Each time we check in a new version, we get a new revision (r1, r2, r3, etc.). In Subversion you’d do:
- svn add list.txt (odify the file)
- svn ci list.txt -m "Changed the list"
- The -m flag is the message to use for this checkin.
