Attached is a tarball used to create an executable that
processes a lot of options and does nothing else. The
ia32 Linux binary is at:
ftp://autogen.linuxave.net/pub/svn
To make changes in option naming, flag character acceptance
etc., change the *opts.def files, rebuild and everything is
up to date.
It will do stuff like this:
> $ ./svn help
> What command do you need help with?
> You must type the command you need help with along with the `--help'
> command line option. Choose from the following commands:
>
> ad add ann annotate branch checkout ci
> co commit copy cp del delete di
> dif diff exit help im imp import
> lo log mv new pget propget propset
> pset quit rdiff rename rm stat status
> tag up update
> $ ./svn exit --help
> USAGE: exit
> This command is provided as a means of exiting `svn' when it is being
> used to process a series of commands.
> $ ./svn log --more-help
> svn_log - Print out history information for files
> USAGE: svn log [ -<flag> [<val>] | --<name>[{=| }<val>] ]... <file> [ ... ]
