Switching from CVS to SVN

Common questions about cvs tasks in Subversion

• How do I modify my CSVN UID?
  The UID of the existing csvn user is modified during install or upgrade of CollabNet Subversion.
• Does Subversion have a keyword that behaves like $Log$ in CVS?
  No, there is no Subversion equivalent for the $Log$ keyword in CVS. If you want to retrieve a log for a specific file in Subversion, you can run svn log your-file-name or svn log url-to-your-file.
• Can I use tags to merge changes from a branch to the trunk like with CVS?
  Yes, it is possible to merge from a branch to the trunk without remembering one revision number, as shown below.
