  `svn {{co|checkout}} {{file:///path/to/repository}}`
- Bring changes from the repository into the working copy:

- Put files and directories under version control, scheduling them for addition to repository. They will be added in next commit:
  `svn add {{path/to/file_or_directory}}`
- Send changes from your working copy to the repository:
  `svn {{ci|commit}} {{-m|--message}} {{commit_log_message}} {{path/to/directory}}`
- Display changes from the last 10 revisions, showing modified files for each revision:
  `svn log {{-vl|--verbose --limit}} {{10}}`

## NAME
       svn - Subversion command line client tool

## SYNOPSIS
       **svn** _command_ [_options_] [_args_]

## OVERVIEW
       Subversion  is  a  version control system, which allows you to keep old versions of files and
       directories (usually source code), keep a log of who, when, and why changes  occurred,  etc.,
       like  CVS,  RCS or SCCS.  **Subversion** keeps a single copy of the master sources.  This copy is
       called the source ``repository''; it contains all the information to permit extracting previ‐
       ous versions of those files at any time.

       For more information about the Subversion project, visit <http://subversion.apache.org>.

       Documentation for Subversion and its tools, including detailed usage explanations of the **svn**,
       **svnadmin**, **svnserve** and **svnlook** programs, historical background, philosophical approaches  and
       reasonings, etc., can be found at <http://svnbook.red-bean.com/>.

       Run `svn help' to access the built-in tool documentation.
