    I cannot see the log entry for the + file I just committed, why?

    + +

    First lets set the stage.
    +Assume you run svn checkout on a repository and receive a +working copy at revision 7 (aka, r7) with one file in it called +foo.c You now go about making a modification to the file +and commit the file successfully. Two basic things happen: +

    +You now have +a mixed revision working copy.

    + +
    All other files in the working copy as well as the current + directory remain at revision 7 until an svn update + is run. +
    + +
    [nesscg@localhost trunk]$ svn -v status
+                7        7 nesscg       .
+                8        8 nesscg       foo.c
    + +

    If you run the svn log command without any arguments it +prints the log information for the current directory - named . in +the above listing - which happens to be at revision 7 and not +revision 8. This is likely why you are not seeing the +log entry for revision 8.

    + +

    To see the log information you can either ask for the files log +information directly by issuing a svn log foo.c command +or updating your working copy to revision 8 for the current directory +by issuing a svn update command. +
