svn命令通常都有帮助,可通过如下方式查询：$ svn help知道了子命令，但是不知道子命令的用法，还可以查询：$ svn help add开发人员常用命令(1) 导入项目$ cd ~/project$ mkdir -p svntest/{trunk,branches,tags}$ svn import svntest https://localhost/test/svntest --message "Start project"...$ rm -rf svntest我们新建一个项目svntest，在该项目下新建三个子目录：trunk，开发主干；branches，开发分支；tags，开发阶段性标签。
然后导入到版本库test下，然后把svntest拿掉。
(2) 导出项目$ svn checkout https://localhost/test/svntest/trunk修订版本号的指定方式是每个开发人员必须了解的，以下是几个参考例子，说明可参考svn推荐书。
$ svn diff --revision PREV:COMMITTED foo.c# shows the last change committed to foo.c$ svn log --revision HEAD# shows log message for the latest repository commit$ svn diff --revision HEAD# compares your working file (with local changes) to the latest version # in the repository$ svn diff --revision BASE:HEAD foo.c# compares your “pristine” foo.c (no local changes) with the# latest version in the repository$ svn log --revision BASE:HEAD# shows all commit logs since you last updated$ svn update --revision PREV foo.c# rewinds the last change on foo.c# (foo.c's working revision is decreased)$ svn checkout --revision 3# specified with revision number$ svn checkout --revision {2002-02-17}$ svn checkout --revision {15:30}$ svn checkout --revision {15:30:00.200000}$ svn checkout --revision {"2002-02-17 15:30"}$ svn checkout --revision {"2002-02-17 15:30 +0230"}$ svn checkout --revision {2002-02-17T15:30}$ svn checkout --revision {2002-02-17T15:30Z}$ svn checkout --revision {2002-02-17T15:30-04:00}$ svn checkout --revision {20020217T1530}$ svn checkout --revision {20020217T1530Z}$ svn checkout --revision {20020217T1530-0500}(3) 日常指令$ svn update$ svn add foo.file$ svn add foo1.dir$ svn add foo2.dir --non-recursive$ svn delete README$ svn copy foo bar$ svn move foo1 bar1$ svn status$ svn status --verbose$ svn status --verbose --show-updates$ svn status stuff/fox.c$ svn diff$ svn diff > patchfile$ svn revert README$ svn revert修改冲突发生时，会生成三个文件：.mine, .rOLDREV, .rNEWREV。
比如：$ ls -lsandwich.txtsandwich.txt.minesandwich.txt.r1sandwich.txt.r2解决修改冲突方式之一：修改冲突的文件sandwich.txt，然后运行命令：$ svn resolved sandwich.txt方式之二：用库里的新版本覆盖你的修改：$ cp sandwich.txt.r2 sandwich.txt$ svn resolved sandwich.txt方式之三：撤销你的修改，这种方式不需要运行resolved子命令:$ svn revert sandwich.txtReverted 'sandwich.txt'$ ls sandwich.*sandwich.txt确保没问题后，就可以提交了。
$ svn commit --message "Correct some fatal problems"$ svn commit --file logmsg$ svn commit(4) 检验版本历史$ svn log$ svn log --revision 5:19$ svn log foo.c$ svn log -r 8 -v$ svn diff$ svn diff --revision 3 rules.txt$ svn diff --revision 2:3 rules.txt$ svn diff --revision 4:5/repos/example/trunk/text/rules.txt$ svn cat --revision 2 rules.txt$ svn cat --revision 2 rules.txt > rules.txt.v2$ svn list /repos/svn$ svn list --verbose /repos/svn$ svn checkout --revision 1729 # Checks out a new working copy at r1729 …$ svn update --revision 1729 # Updates an existing working copy to r1729 …(5) 其他有用的命令svn cleanup为失败的事务清场。
(6) 分支和合并建立分支方法一：先checkout然后做拷贝，最后提交拷贝。
$ svn checkout /repos/calc bigwcA bigwc/trunk/A bigwc/trunk/MakefileA bigwc/trunk/integer.cA bigwc/trunk/button.cA bigwc/branches/Checked out revision 340.$ cd bigwc$ svn copy trunk branches/my-calc-branch$ svn statusA + branches/my-calc-branch$ svn commit -m "Creating a private branch of /calc/trunk."Adding branches/my-calc-branchCommitted revision 341.建立分支方法二：直接远程拷贝。
$ svn copy /repos/calc/trunk \/repos/calc/branches/my-calc-branch \-m "Creating a private branch of /calc/trunk."Committed revision 341.建立分支后，你可以把分支checkout并继续你的开发。
$ svn checkout/repos/calc/branches/my-calc-branch假设你已经checkout了主干，现在想切换到某个分支开发，可做如下的操作：$ cd calc$ svn info | grep URLURL: /repos/calc/trunk$ svn switch /repos/calc/branches/my-calc-branch U integer.cU button.cU MakefileUpdated to revision 341.$ svn info | grep URLURL: /repos/calc/branches/my-calc-branch合并文件的命令参考：$ svn diff -r 343:344 /repos/calc/trunk$ svn merge -r 343:344 /repos/calc/trunk$ svn commit -m "integer.c: ported r344 (spelling fixes) from trunk." $ svn merge -r 343:344 /repos/calc/trunkmy-calc-branch$ svn merge /repos/branch1@150 \/repos/branch2@212 \my-working-copy$ svn merge -r 100:200 /repos/trunkmy-working-copy$ svn merge -r 100:200 /repos/trunk$ svn merge --dry-run -r 343:344 /repos/calc/trunk 最后一条命令仅仅做合并测试，并不执行合并操作。
建立标签和建立分支没什么区别，不过是拷贝到不同的目录而已。
$ svn copy /repos/calc/trunk \/repos/calc/tags/release-1.0 \-m "Tagging the 1.0 release of the 'calc' project."$ lsmy-working-copy/$ svn copy my-working-copy /repos/calc/tags/mytag Committed revision 352.后一种方式直接把本地的工作拷贝复制为标签。
