Name

svn list — List directory entries in the repository.

Synopsis

svn list [TARGET[@REV]...]

Description

List each TARGET file and the contents of each TARGET directory as they exist in the repository. If TARGET is a working copy path, the corresponding repository URL will be used.

The default TARGET is “.”, meaning the repository URL of the current working copy directory.

With --verbose, svn list shows the following fields for each item:

Revision number of the last commit
Author of the last commit
If locked, the letter “O” (See svn info for details).
Size (in bytes)
Date and time of the last commit

With --xml, output is in XML format (with a header and an enclosing document element unless --incremental is also specified). All of the information is present; the --verbose option is not accepted.

Examples

svn list is most useful if you want to see what files a repository has without downloading a working copy:

$ svn list http://svn.red-bean.com/repos/test/support
README.txt
INSTALL
examples/
…

You can pass the --verbose option for additional information, rather like the UNIX command ls -l:

$ svn list --verbose file:///tmp/repos
     16 sally         28361 Jan 16 23:18 README.txt
     27 sally             0 Jan 18 15:27 INSTALL
     24 harry               Jan 18 11:27 examples/
