Understanding the output from svn export

Question

Working on some tweaks for a build script, I noticed that the output from svn export has an 'A' in column 1 for each file exported.

A    C:\build\file1
A    C:\build\file2
A    C:\build\file3

The subversion book describes the meaning of the various columns for svnlook changes and svn status, but I'm not having much luck finding the meaning behind this one.

What does the 'A' in column 1 mean? Are there any other values displayed there? Any other columns?

Thanks!

Answer 1

"A" means add. For import, that's all you'll see. For other operations, there's other possibilities. See http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.ref.svn.c.status.html.

Answer 2

I beleive it means "added".

The TortiseSVN export output pane uses this terminology.

Answer 3

It means "added".

I've documented the svn log export data structure on the Subversion page of a BI tool I'm developing. Furthermore, there's a short screencast providing a rich visualization of the data available in the svn log.
