Here's a brief summary of all the commands we covered in this chapter in one place. We are demonstrating these in an order that's plausible for a normal workflow. Sometimes the official documentation for utilities like Subversion are terse and confusing, so we're going to give you full examples here, using http://repo.com as our imaginary repository:
svn checkout http://repo.com/trunk/ .
Run this command only once, when you first establish a connection with the repo to the current folder. This will also download the latest version of the repository to your local folder:
svn checkout --revision {"2010-11-15 15:30"} http://repo.com/trunk/ .
Add the
--revision
flag with a date to check out an older version of the repository indicated.svn status
