SVN - Tags
Version Control System supports the tag operation by using that concept that one can give meaningful name to a specific version of the code. Tag allows to give descriptive and memorable names to specific version of code. For example BASIC_ARRAY_OPERATIONS is more memorable than revision 4.
Let us see tag operation with an example. Tom decides to create a tag so that he can access the code more easily.
[tom@CentOS project_repo]$ svn copy --revision=4 trunk/ tags/basic_array_operations
Above command will produce the following result.
A tags/basic_array_operations/array.c Updated to revision 4. A tags/basic_array_operations
Upon successful completion, the new directory will be created inside the tags directory.
[tom@CentOS project_repo]$ ls -l tags/ total 4 drwxrwxr-x. 3 tom tom 4096 Aug 24 18:18 basic_array_operations
Tom wants to double-check it before commit. Status operation is showing that the tag operation is successful, so he can safely commit his changes.
[tom@CentOS project_repo]$ svn status A + tags/basic_array_operations [tom@CentOS project_repo]$ svn commit -m "Created tag for basic array operations" Adding tags/basic_array_operations Committed revision 5.
