When does svn BASE become equal to the HEAD

Question

I had a question regarding the BASE version in svn. I know it is the pristine version of an item from the last time update was run and svn diff and status basically run agai

Answer 1

BASE is the revision of your working copy as it exists in the repository. In other words, your revision without the changes you've made. So if you svn update a file or folder to HEAD, then BASE and HEAD are equal.

When there is a conflict, BASE becomes the revision before the commit that conflicted with your working copy.

Run svn info on an item to see it's BASE revision.
