How to set a revision number for svn external?

Question

So I have this file Mobile.framework and if I do a svn propedit i get

svn propedit svn:externals

It brings up

Mobile.embeddedframework  svn+ssh://../Mobile.embeddedframework

This is pointed to the head.

I want to edit this and set it to -r1209. Whats the correct way to set it to a revision?

Answer 1

Have a look at the SVN manual:

Mobile.framework svn+ssh://../Mobile.embeddedframework@100 - note the @100.

(or)

svn propedit svn:externals .

can help you edit it.

Answer 2

svn propset svn:externals \
Mobile.framework  svn+ssh://../Mobile.embeddedframework@1024

1024 is arbitrary :) replace it with the revision number you want to use

EDIT Then for 100 you use

svn propset svn:externals \
Mobile.framework  svn+ssh://../Mobile.embeddedframework@100

EDIT AGAIN* Oh yes, I forgot the target

svn propset . svn:externals \
Mobile.framework  svn+ssh://../Mobile.embeddedframework@100

Note, that there is a dot in the command.
