How to escape @ characters in Subversion managed file names?

Question

Answer 1

For svn commands with 2 arguments like "move", you must append "@" only at left (first) parameter. For example:

$ svn add README@txt@
A         README@txt

$ svn move README@txt@ README2@txt
A         README2@txt
D         README@txt


$ svn status
A       README2@txt

$ svn commit -m "blah"
Adding         README2@txt
Transmitting file data .
Committed revision 168.

$ svn delete README2@txt@
D         README2@txt

$ svn commit -m "blahblah"
*Deleting       README2@txt

Committed revision 169.

This line is important: $ svn move README@txt@ README2@txt

As you can see, we don't need to append "@" at "README2@txt"
