NAME

SVK::Help::View - Introduction to svk view support

DESCRIPTION

[Views are a BETA-quality feature. We're very interested in bug reports and feeback about them.]

svk allows you to define multiple different views for an existing repository.

DEFINING A VIEW

views are stored as property "svk:view:NAME" on a directory. Suppose you have "svk:view:ptest" set on "//project", you can refer to it by "//^project/ptest". That is, a caret, and then path holding the property, a slash, and the name of the view.

You can now use "//^project/ptest" as a target for normal svk commands like ls, checkout and diff.

Here is an example for the value of the property:

  &:/project/trunk
  -*
  dir1  dir1
  util  src/deep/util
 
 

The first line is the base of the view. The &: sign means the root of a mirror, so the view can still be used even if other people mirrored the repository to a different path in their local repository.

The second line means taking out all the content under the root. And then take "dir1" back, stick the directory "src/deep/util" to "util" under the view. So running "svk ls //^project/ptest" you should see:

  dir1/
  util/
