Can someone explain the difference between the use of the -r REV
and URL@REV
syntax in the following two SVN commands:
svn co -r6002 https://svnserv2.acme.com/stx/project1/trunk/gui/Mammoth/WebContent/css
svn: Unable to find repository location for 'https ://svnserv2.acme.com/stx/project1/trunk/gui/Mammoth/WebContent/css' in revision 6002
svn co https://svnserv2.acme.com/stx/project1/trunk/gui/Mammoth/WebContent/css@6002
Checked out revision 6002.
So if I checkout a version of an SVN directory with -r
it fails, but if I use url@REV
it works - I would have thought the two were equivalent and unfortunately the SVN docs do not seem to explain the difference.
