Where is the Attic in Subversion (Turtle)?

Oops, I need information from a file that I deleted some time ago. In CVS, I would just go to ATTIC to find it, how to find the file in SVN without returning to the revision where it exists (especially annoying, since I have no idea when I left - a week ago, two weeks ago. ..)

Look at the SVN log of the directory in which it was located, find the version in which you deleted it. In the bottom pane, right-click the file and select the option "Save revision to ...".

To help you find which revision you deleted, find the document icon with an X in the lower left corner of the Show Log column of Actions.

The "attic" in CVS is more of an implementation detail. The file cannot be completely deleted from the repository, because the file history is in the " ,v " file, so CVS puts it off.

Subversion uses a more sophisticated repository storage mechanism, where files do not need to be put off this way. I don’t think there is an easy way to request the latest version where the file existed, but you should find it quite easily using "svn ls -rrev". In this case, rev can be any of the things that Subversion accepts to indicate a revision - number, date, etc. Just go back to the story until you find it, then go ahead until you find the latest version where it existed.

Update: @AviewAnew has a good understanding of checking the directory log in which the file was located. Since deleting a file is indeed a change in the directory that contains it, it should be easy to find where the file disappeared this way.

 svn log --verbose

will show you what you deleted. Then you can do

 svn copy --revision <last_revision_with_deleted_file>

to get a working copy of the deleted file. It should not be harder than getting the remote file from CVS.
