Hi ALL,
Thanks Schmidt and Levy for details answers.
I have following questions regarding Versioning.
According to subversion Book: "Unlike those of many other version control
systems, Subversion's revision numbers apply to entire trees, not individual
files. Each revision number selects an entire tree, a particular state of
the repository after some committed change".
Question: Is there any way to find the last modified version of the
specified file in the repository.
Example: there is a file abc.txt in repository with current repository
version of 37, and this file was last time changed in repository version 13,
after that its version is incrementing due to subversion's Versioning Model.
Now before making any change in abc.txt, I want to get the last updated
version of this file (not the repository). How can I find that version (13
here in this example)?
What should be the command or any URL?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Kind Regards ~~~~
