Subversion Hosting Manual: svn status

Synopsis

svn status [PATH...]

Description

Print the status of working copy files and directories. With no arguments, it prints only locally modified items (no repository access). With --show-updates, it adds working revision and server out-of-date information. With --verbose, it prints full revision information on every item.

The first six columns in the output are each one character wide, and each column gives you information about different aspects of each working copy item.

The first column indicates that an item was added, deleted, or otherwise changed.

' ': No modifications.
'A': Item is scheduled for Addition.
'D': Item is scheduled for Deletion.
'M': Item has been modified.
'R': Item has been replaced in your working copy. This means the file was scheduled for deletion, and then a new file with the same name was scheduled for addition in its place.
'C': The contents (as opposed to the properties) of the item conflict with updates received from the repository.
'X': Item is present because of an externals definition.
'I': Item is being ignored (e.g. with the svn:ignore property).
'Ё': Item is not under version control.
'!': Item is missing (e.g. you moved or deleted it without using svn). This also indicates that a directory is incomplete (a checkout or update was interrupted).
'~': Item is versioned as one kind of object (file, directory, link), but has been replaced by different kind of object.

The second column tells the status of a file's or directory's properties.

' ': No modifications.
'M': Properties for this item have been modified.
'C': Properties for this item are in conflict with property updates received from the repository.

The third column is populated only if the working copy directory is locked. (See the section called в€œSometimes You Just Need to Clean Upв€.)

' ': Item is not locked.
'L': Item is locked.

The fourth column is populated only if the item is scheduled for addition-with-history.

' ': No history scheduled with commit.
'+': History scheduled with commit.

The fifth column is populated only if the item is switched relative to its parent (see the section called в€œTraversing Branchesв€).

' ': Item is a child of its parent directory.
'S': Item is switched.

The sixth column is populated with lock information.

' ': When --show-updates is used, the file is not locked. If --show-updates is not used, this merely means that the file is not locked in this working copy.
K: File is locked in this working copy.
O: File is locked either by another user or in another working copy. This only appears when --show-updates is used.
T: File was locked in this working copy, but the lock has been в€œstolenв€ and is invalid. The file is currently locked in the repository. This only appears when --show-updates is used.
B: File was locked in this working copy, but the lock has been в€œbrokenв€ and is invalid. The file is no longer locked This only appears when --show-updates is used.

The out-of-date information appears in the seventh column (only if you pass the --show-updates option).

' ': The item in your working copy is up-to-date.
'*': A newer revision of the item exists on the server.

The remaining fields are variable width and delimited by spaces. The working revision is the next field if the --show-updates or --verbose options are passed.

If the --verbose option is passed, the last committed revision and last committed author are displayed next.

The working copy path is always the final field, so it can include spaces.

Examples

This is the easiest way to find out what changes you have made to your working copy:

$ svn status wc
 M     wc/bar.c
A  +   wc/qax.c

If you want to find out what files in your working copy are out-of-date, pass the --show-updates option (this will not make any changes to your working copy). Here you can see that wc/foo.c has changed in the repository since we last updated our working copy:

$ svn status --show-updates wc
 M           965    wc/bar.c
       *     965    wc/foo.c
A  +         965    wc/qax.c
Status against revision:    981

Note

--show-updates only places an asterisk next to items that are out of date (that is, items that will be updated from the repository if you run svn update). --show-updates does not cause the status listing to reflect the repository's version of the item (although you can see the revision number in the repository by passing the --verbose option).

And finally, the most information you can get out of the status subcommand:

$ svn status --show-updates --verbose wc
 M           965       938 sally        wc/bar.c
       *     965       922 harry        wc/foo.c
A  +         965       687 harry        wc/qax.c
             965       687 harry        wc/zig.c
Head revision:   981
