DESCRIPTION

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