In svn
CLI (AKA SlikSVN
), how do I check out (update) a remote file foo.txt under the local name foo1.txt?
To avoid terminology confusion, by "check out (update)", I mean simply download the file from the remote repo locally but there is already a locally changed version that I don't wish to update with the version from the repo.
You can't change name on
svn co
, but you cansvn cat /URL/TO/FOO > foo1.txt
(it will be unversioned unknown to SVN file)PS - Better way for maintaining concurrent changes in SVN is ol' good branching
