Hi Donminic,
Thank you very much for your tip. You are correct.
Once I use the command "svn list -r HEAD -v .", then
svn returns the correct revision number.
However, do you think there is some inconsistency in
this command? For example, if I do "svn list help.txt
-v", then it works. Should the command "svn ls -v" be
translated into "svn list -r HEAD -v ."?
So should I always "svn list -r HEAD -v" (via alias)
on everything (eg. local file, local directory,
repository file and repository directory)?
Thanks.
Kevin
