DESCRIPTION
[Views are a BETA-quality feature. We're very interested in bug reports
and feeback about them.]
svk allows you to define multiple different views for an existing
repository.
DEFINING A VIEW
views are stored as property "svk:view:NAME" on a directory. Suppose
you have "svk:view:ptest" set on "//project", you can refer to it by
"//^project/ptest". That is, a caret, and then path holding the
property, a slash, and the name of the view.
You can now use "//^project/ptest" as a target for normal svk commands
like ls, checkout and diff.
Here is an example for the value of the property:
&:/project/trunk
-*
dir1 dir1
util src/deep/util
The first line is the base of the view. The &: sign means the root of
a mirror, so the view can still be used even if other people mirrored
the repository to a different path in their local repository.
The second line means taking out all the content under the root. And
then take "dir1" back, stick the directory "src/deep/util" to "util"
under the view. So running "svk ls //^project/ptest" you should see:
dir1/
util/
