How do I browse an old revision of a Subversion re

问题:

I know how to browse my project's Subversion repository through its web front-end, but it seems that I can only browse the latest revision of the trunk. Is there a way to browse an older revision of the trunk through the web UI?

I know how to do this from the command-line, but I need to know how to do this using URLs, because I'm embedding these URLs into a document. I also know I could create an svn-style tag of the trunk, but I would prefer not to do that.

回答1:

Append something like this to your repository URL:

!svn/bc/<revision_number>/

E.g.

http://www.example.com/svnrepository/!svn/bc/3/

---

Alternative

From Bert Huijben's comment:

If your repository is hosted using Subversion 1.6.0 or later, you can use example.com/svnrepository/?p=3 for the same result... This method /is/ documented. (?r= revision of the file, ?p= operational revision of the URL). See the subversion 1.6 release notes

回答2:

Append this to your repository's URL:

?p=24

Examples:

http://www.example.com/svnrepository/?p=65
http://www.example.com/svnrepository/subdir/file.html?p=42

Documentation: http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.6.html#historical-uris

It depends on the svn webclient you're using. In the case of trac (and maybe some others), just add the the parameter rev= to the querystring.

i.e. http://trac.example.com/log/trunk/client/filename?rev=123

If you use VisualSVN Server 3.2 or newer then you can use its HTML5-based web-based history browser for this task. For example, here is a repository tree as it existed in revision 1001 of serf network library repository.

See the description of the web interface.

回答5:

The built-in web interface does not allow retrieving of old revisions (or any other info than what you've already seen). You can install third-party web-based repository browsing software to get around this limitation. I haven't used any myself, so I'm not going to offer recommendations, but I'm sure others will (a quick google search will help you find some too).
