To use the command-line client, type svn, the subcommand you wish to use,[56] and any options or targets that you wish to operate on—the subcommand and the options need not appear in a specific order. For example, all of the following are valid ways to use svn status:
$ svn -v status $ svn status -v $ svn status -v myfile
You can find many more examples of how to use most client commands in Chapter 2 and commands for managing properties in Properties.
[56] Well, you don’t need a subcommand to use the
--version
option, but we’ll get to that in just a
minute.
