pvn(1) - Extended functionality for Subversion

SYNOPSIS

pvn subcommand [options]

DESCRIPTION

Pvn is a set of subcommands that extend svn, adding functionality inspired by Git and Perforce.

Pvn supports revisions being specified as being relative to their "index" in the list of Subversion revisions. "+n" means the nth revision in the list for a given path, and "-n" is the nth from the last revision, where -1 means the last revision.

Pvn differs from Subversion in that for all subcommands, file names are printed in sorted order, improving legibility.

Output from some commands is cached, for speed.

SUBCOMMANDS

For all subcommands, pvn help <command> shows extended information.

• log: Prints log messages for files.

  The log subcommand works in pvn as it does with svn, except that output is colorized, differing for the elements (file, directory) and the status of the element (added, deleted, changed). The logging output also shows the relative revision.

  The log subcommand displays dates in a shorter form than svn does.

• pct: Compares two revisions, showing the changes in the size (length) of files that have been modified in the latter revision, to show the extent to which they have increased or decreased.

  The columns are:

  length in svn repository

  length in local version

  difference in line counts

  percentage, with the base being the lines in the svn revision.

  file name

  The total numbers are displayed as the last line. Added and deleted files are not included.

• status: Prints the status for locally changed files.

• diff: Shows changes to files.

• seek: Searches through revision history for pattern match.

  This command looks through revisions and displays (a la grep) the most recent revision when the given pattern matched. In the case of the --no-match argument, the displayed revision is the most recent one in which the pattern did not match.
