Hi, can anyone help me a little bit for these questions: How does SVN work
when recovering to a desired copy, specifically, how EXACTLY SVN does by
combining the delta to reconstruct a desired file version.In CVS, they
record the delta (for text file), as well as the update information like in
which lines we have an insertion/deletion. However, in SVN, do we keep this
information? Otherwise, how can we restore a desired file version. For
example, I create one file, and make one simple insertion (insert a
character). The following shows the file versions and the corresponding
delta information in the repository. Can anyone tell me how exactly can I
restore the second file version by the fist file version and the delta file
for the second file version? I appreciate very much for your help.

*The first version:*
#include "stdio.h"
#include "stdlib.h"
#include "unistd.h"
#include "aa.h"
#include "bb.h"
#include "cc.h"
#include "ee.h"
#include "ff.h"
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
while(1)
{
printf("test");
sleep(2);
}
}
*After one simple insertion (the second version):*
#include "stdio.h"
#include "stdlib.h"
#include "unistd.h"
#include "aa.h"
#include "bb.h"
#include "cc.h"
#include "ee.h"
#include "ff.h"
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
while(1*2*)
{
printf("test");
sleep(2);
}
}
The corresponding data in the SVN repository.
