RE: Retrieve the full URL of a file given the revision number

svn info <file> -r <revision>

Will give you the url of <file> in <revision> (following renames and copies,
etc).

# svn info CONTRIBUTERS.txt

=== In my workingcopy ===

# svn info CONTRIBUTERS.txt

As you can see the file CONTRIBUTERS.txt was originally called CONTRIBUTERS.

(You can also use the url to a file instead of a local working copy path).

But in many cases the real question is: why do you need the url at a
specific point in time?

Almost every subversion command allows specifying peg revisions:

Eg.

svn info file_at_RR -r SS

Retrieves information on the file that was known as file in revision RR, as
it was in revision SS. Normally you only need the url at some specific
poiont when you are performing url calculations yourself.

Subject: Retrieve the full URL of a file given the revision number

Hi,

Is there a way to retrieve the full url of a file given the revision number
in svn.
The result would be something like this
file:///path/to/the/file/in/the/repository or
https://path/to/the/file/in/the/repository.

Thanks.

Jay
