How to use keywords in SVN (TortoiseSVN)

Question

I cannot make a document using the Keyword Replacement tool to have only a few data: -Date -Revision Aut -HeadURL -Id

I am doing a test, but I cannot implement keyword substitution. I created a Txt document with the following information:

svn:keywords = Date Revision Author HeadURL Id $Id: $ $Revision: $ $Author: $ $HeadURL: $ $Date: $ 

I do not know if it should be implemented in a txt file or in another format.

I am using TortoiseSVN and Subversion Edge tools.

Answer 1

You must use the correct workflow and syntax

• Add svn property to file (as Ken noted)
• Use the correct syntax for included keywords inside a text file

$Revision$ $Date$ $Author$

Answer 2

You have done half what you need. Now you need to use svn propset to do the rest, as shown in the documentation , about halfway down the page:

You have done this part:

For example, let's say you have a versioned file called weather.txt that looks like this:

 Here is the latest report from the front lines. $LastChangedDate$ $Rev$ Cumulus clouds are appearing more frequently as summer approaches. 

Now you need to do the other half:

If the svn: Keywords property is not set for this file, Subversion will not do anything special. Now let me enable the LastChangedDate keyword replacement.

 $ svn propset svn:keywords "Date Author" weather.txt property 'svn:keywords' set on 'weather.txt' $ 

The easiest way to set these properties using TortoiseSVN is to right-click the file, select TortoiseSVN->Properties from the pop-up menu, and then configure it there. You can find this information on the Project Settings page of the project in the TortoiseSVN documentation ; see SVN keywords about 2/3 of the way down the page. (There is no binding, but you can search for the page as soon as you get there.)

So, if you want the Author , Date , Rev i , to be part of the SVN version file, you need to add the SVN Key to this file. So my initial file is called example.xls , this is until the first commit !!!

With content

 <!-- $Rev:: $: Revision of last commit. $Author:: $: Author of last commit. $Date:: $: Date of last commit. --> <abv:container xmlns:abv="http://my_org/odel/common"> <abv:object xmln .... 

• You must set the keyword substitution in your file, so for this purpose, if you are a user of Tourtoise SVN, right-click on the example.xsl file

2. Choosing New Keywords

3. Choose option, date, author

4. So now, when you commit this file, if the comment <!-- SVN does not add the necessary values ​​after :: . So, after committing, the file will look like this:

    $Rev:: 938 $: Revision of last commit. $Author:: Xelian $: Author of last commit. $Date:: 2016-07-11 11:21:26#$: Date of last commit. 

Answer 4

Today I ran into the same problem, but the syntax and properties were correct.

In my case, the problem was depending on the encoding of the file (it had UCS-2 LE BOM). I converted the file to ANSI and the keywords became replaced.
