Name
svn commit — Send changes from your working copy to the repository.
Synopsis
svn commit [PATH
...]
Description
Send changes from your working copy to the repository.
If you do not supply a log message with your commit by using either
the --file
or --message
option,
svn will launch your editor for
you to compose a commit message. See the editor-cmd
list entry in Config.
svn commit will send any
lock tokens that it finds and will release locks on all
PATH
s committed (recursively) unless
--no-unlock
is passed.
Tip
If you begin a commit and Subversion launches your editor to compose the commit message, you can still abort without committing your changes. If you want to cancel your commit, just quit your editor without saving your commit message and Subversion will prompt you to either abort the commit, continue with no message, or edit the message again.
