SVN command line: svnlook mypath history, cannot open file

Question

I use this command to display the history of commits.

svnlook history -r 2 mypath

and I get the following:

svnlook: Can't open file 'mypath/format': No such file or directory

I am sure that "mypath" is correct. I also tried to go into deeper directories. I tried with absolute and relative paths, I tried with the -r option and without, but always get the same result.

Answer 1

The svnlook command svnlook used on the server hosting the repository (i.e. not what you need).

You can use svn to request a working copy for the data you are looking for. Refer to http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.tour.history.html and check svn log or svn diff for a history of changes.
