NAME

svnversion - Produce a compact version identifier for a working copy.

SYNOPSIS

svnversion [options] [wc_path [trail_url]]

OVERVIEW

Subversion is a version control system, which allows you to keep old versions of files and directories (usually source code), keep a log of who, when, and why changes occurred, etc., like CVS, RCS or SCCS. Subversion keeps a single copy of the master sources. This copy is called the source ``repository''; it contains all the information to permit extracting previous versions of those files at any time.
