Exporting a Folder System

To obtain a clean directory tree of a remote subversion repository on the local machine use the Export option ( File->Export ... ). The Export dialog has the following fields:

URL

The Universal Resource Locater URL where the remote repository can be found

For example:  svn://esvn.umputun.com/esvn/trunk

[Caution]

Ensure that no leading or lagging blank spaces are inserted before/after the URL string. If this happens an error is returned.

Local path

A path to a folder resource on the local system. Use the eclipse button to navigate to and specify the path.

Revision

Select the radio button and enter a value equal to a revision number. KEYWORDS are supported:

HEAD

The latest revision in the repository.

BASE

The "pristine" revision of an item in a working copy.

COMMITTED

The last revision in which an item changed before (or at) BASE.

PREV

The revision just before the last revision in which an item changed. (Technically, COMMITTED - 1.)

Date

Select the radio button and enter a value equal to a revision date or time. Specify date or time using any of the following syntax:
