How to checkout/update file under different name in SVN CLI?

164 Views Asked by At

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 can svn 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
