SVN book

Some basic commands for SVN:

svn update       # gets current revision from repository
svn add foo      # adds a new file to the repository
svn status [-v]  # shows local changes
svn diff         # more local changes
svn revert foo   # reverts changes in a file, or changes in properties (un-adds, un-deletes)
# and finally this is how ignoring files should look like:
svn propset svn:ignore '*' path [-R]
