Re: SVN 'versions' per file

Erik is right. If you need what you asked for, you get something
similar if you type :

svn log X

and then

svn log Y

however, you will get the *global* revision numbers, and therefore
you will not get consecutive numbers for either file X or Y.

btw, in svn you do not need to 'co' (checkout) files. all the files are
'checked-out' (in the VSS/RCS sense) by default, and this command
does not exist in svn the way you are used to. the command svn
checkout exists is, but it is used to create a new working copy.

unless you need that for a very special reason, i'd advise you to
change your mind. svn is 'easy' and very well documented, but for
people who have used old SCMs (i.e. using the lock-unlock method), it
is difficult for them to get used to its new (and non-exclusive) philosophy.
basically because humans tend not to be happy with a change that do
not need, even if it is proven that that change is useful.
