The command "svn log -vl ${10}" is used to display the version history or log of a repository in Subversion (SVN) in a detailed format, with line-by-line information, for a specific file or directory at a given revision number.
Let's break down the command:
-
"svn log": This is the SVN command used to retrieve the version history or log of a repository.
-
"-vl": These are options or flags that modify the behavior of the "svn log" command:
- "-v" stands for "verbose" and provides a detailed output, including information about each changed file in every revision.
- "-l" stands for "limit" and restricts the number of log entries shown. By default, it shows the latest 10 log entries.
-
"${10}": This is a placeholder for a revision number or the name of a file or directory. Here, it suggests that you should replace "${10}" with a specific revision number or the path of a file or directory that you want to view the log for. For example, you could replace "${10}" with "myfile.txt" to view the log of the file "myfile.txt".
So, when you run the command "svn log -vl ${10}", it will display the verbose log information, including file-level details, limiting the output to the latest 10 log entries for the specified revision number or file/directory.
