Version Control with Subversion - svn update

Name

svn update — Update your working copy.

Synopsis

svn update [PATH...]

Description

svn update brings changes from the repository into your working copy. If no revision given, it brings your working copy up-to-date with the HEAD revision. Otherwise, it synchronizes the working copy to the revision given by the --revision switch. As part of the synchronization, svn update also removes any stale locks found in the working copy.

For each updated item a line will start with a character reporting the action taken. These characters have the following meaning:

A

Added

D

Deleted

U

Updated

C

Conflict

G

Merged

A character in the first column signifies an update to the actual file, while updates to the file's properties are shown in the second column.

Alternate Names

up

Changes

Working copy

Accesses Repository

Yes

Switches

--revision (-r) REV
--non-recursive (-N)
--quiet (-q)
--diff3-cmd CMD
--username USER
--password PASS
--no-auth-cache
--non-interactive
--config-dir DIR
--ignore-externals

Examples

Pick up repository changes that have happened since your last update:

$ svn update
A  newdir/toggle.c
A  newdir/disclose.c
A  newdir/launch.c
D  newdir/README
Updated to revision 32.

You can also update your working copy to an older revision (Subversion doesn't have the concept of “sticky” files like CVS does; see Appendix A, Subversion for CVS Users ):

$ svn update -r30
A  newdir/README
D  newdir/toggle.c
D  newdir/disclose.c
D  newdir/launch.c
U  foo.c
Updated to revision 30.

Tip

If you want to examine an older revision of a single file, you may want to use svn cat .
