DESCRIPTION

6       [Views are a BETA-quality feature. We're very interested in bug reports
7       and feeback about them.]
8
9       svk allows you to define multiple different views for an existing
10       repository.
11
12       DEFINING A VIEW
13
14       views are stored as property "svk:view:NAME" on a directory.  Suppose
15       you have "svk:view:ptest" set on "//project", you can refer to it by
16       "//^project/ptest".  That is, a caret, and then path holding the prop‐
17       erty, a slash, and the name of the view.
18
19       You can now use "//^project/ptest" as a target for normal svk commands
20       like ls, checkout and diff.
21
22       Here is an example for the value of the property:
23
24        &:/project/trunk
25        -*
26        dir1  dir1
27        util  src/deep/util
28
29       The first line is the base of the view.  The &: sign means the root of
30       a mirror, so the view can still be used even if other people mirrored
31       the repository to a different path in their local repository.
32
33       The second line means taking out all the content under the root.  And
34       then take "dir1" back, stick the directory "src/deep/util" to "util"
35       under the view.  So running "svk ls //^project/ptest" you should see:
36
37        dir1/
38        util/
