Status
svn status prints all files that have local modifications. By default, the repository is not contacted. While this subcommand accepts a fair number of options, the following are the most commonly used ones:
-uContact the repository to determine, and then display, out-of-dateness information.
-vShow all entries under version control.
-NRun non-recursively (do not descend into subdirectories).
The status command has two output formats. In the default «short» format, local modifications look like this:
$ svn status M foo.c M bar/baz.cIf you specify the --show-updates (-u) switch, a longer output format is used:
$ svn status -u M 1047 foo.c * 1045 faces.html * bloo.png M 1050 bar/baz.c Status against revision: 1066In this case, two new columns appear. The second column contains an asterisk if the file or directory is out-of-date. The third column shows the working-copy's revision number of the item. In the example above, the asterisk indicates that faces.html would be patched if we updated, and that bloo.png is a newly added file in the repository. (The absence of any revision number next to bloo.png means that it doesn't yet exist in the working copy.)
Lastly, here's a quick summary of the most common status codes that you may see:
A Resource is scheduled for Addition D Resource is scheduled for Deletion M Resource has local Modifications C Resource has Conflicts (changes have not been completely merged between the repository and working copy version) X Resource is eXternal to this working copy (may come from another repository). See «svn:externals» ? Resource is not under version control ! Resource is missing or incomplete (removed by another tool than Subversion)For a more detailed discussion of svn status, see «svn status».
