How can I use the svn export command to get a single file from the repository?
I've tried this:
svn export e:\repositories\process\test.txt c:\ But I get this error:
svn: e:\repositories\process is not a working copy
922
Description. The first form exports a clean directory tree from the repository specified by URL —at revision REV if it is given; otherwise, at HEAD , into PATH . If PATH is omitted, the last component of the URL is used for the local directory name.
In the main menu, select VCS | Browse VCS Repository | Browse Subversion Repository to open the SVN Repositories tool window. Right-click a directory you want to export and choose Export from the context menu. In the Select Path dialog that opens, specify the destination directory and click OK.
svn export simply extracts all the files from a revision and does not allow revision control on it. It also does not litter each directory with . svn directories. svn checkout allows you to use version control in the directory made, e.g. your standard commands such as svn update and svn commit .
Guessing from your directory name, you are trying to access the repository on the local filesystem. You still need to use URL syntax to access it:
svn export file:///e:/repositories/process/test.txt c:\test.txt You don't have to do this locally either. You can do it through a remote repository, for example:
svn export http://<repo>/process/test.txt /path/to/code/ If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
