Commandline checkout using SVN

Question

I am trying to automate my checkout process using SVN version 1.6.6.

When I call

call "C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\SubWCRev.exe"   checkout  URL

I get this message.

SubWCRev 1.6.6, Build 17493 - 32 Bit

And when I call the following just a window pops up.

call "C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoiseProc.exe.exe"   checkout  URL

What am I doing wrong?

TortoiseSVN is a program for SVN integration into the Windows Explorer shell. You get the normal command-line Subversion at http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html.

The command-line for checkout is (if the Subversion directory isn't in the PATH-variable, you have to prepend the command with the path to Subversion):

svn checkout <url>

Later versions of the installer for TortoiseSVN do in fact include the command-line tools (option "command line client tools" in the "Custom Setup" screen).

It looks like you have (only?) installed TortoiseSVN under Windows. For using the command line efficiently, you should install the command line version of Subversion, you will find installation files at Download Binary Packages at subversion.apache.org.

If you insist to do a checkout with TortoiseSVN by using the command line, this is documented in the help of TortoiseSVN under "Appendix D. Automating TortoiseSVN".

The command you search for looks like

"C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoiseProc.exe" /command:checkout /path:my-example /url:"http://my.server.com/svn/trunk/my-example"

But be aware: This will open a dialog window, and you have to manually press the "Ok" button for it to work.

TortoiseSVN 1.7 has a command-line Subversion client. Check the installer.

Writing a batch file and including the checkout command would be a better option to fully automate the given scenario.

svn checkout [url] [path]

[path] is optional.
