Synopsis

svn list [TARGET[@REV]...]

Description

List each TARGET file and the contents of each TARGET directory as they exist in the repository. If TARGET is a working copy path, the corresponding repository URL will be used.

The default TARGET is “ . ”, meaning the repository URL of the current working copy directory.

With --verbose, the following fields show the status of the item:

With --xml, output is in XML format (with a header and an enclosing document element unless --incremental is also specified). All of the information is present; the --verbose option is not accepted.

Examples

svn list is most useful if you want to see what files a repository has without downloading a working copy:

$ svn list https://svn.red-bean.com/repos/test/support
README.txt
INSTALL
examples/
…

You can pass the --verbose switch for additional information, rather like the UNIX command ls -l :

$ svn list --verbose file:///tmp/repos
     16 sally         28361 Jan 16 23:18 README.txt
     27 sally             0 Jan 18 15:27 INSTALL
     24 harry               Jan 18 11:27 examples/
