Bash script for easier SVN checkouts

co

#!/bin/bash
# Author Ryan Kulla ([email protected])
#
# A shell script (in Bash) that allows you to do SVN checkouts
# with a shorter command than the default subversion command.
# Handy if your repos have long, hard to remember URLs.
#
# Put this script in your PATH (e.g., ~/bin/)
# Make sure it's executable:
#   $ chmod u+x ~/bin/co
#
# USAGE
# Make repo_url your repositories location. Then run:
#
#   $ co <rev> <reponame> [<dir>] (default=trunk) [<checkout location>]
#
# The default <dir> is trunk. The default checkout location is ./reponame
# For <rev> enter a number or keywords like HEAD. Examples:
#
#   $ co HEAD foo-repo
#   $ co 100 foo-repo branch/branch-foo /tmp/branch-foo

# Change the value of repo_url to your repository
repo_url="http://svn/repos"
rev="$1"
repo_name="$2"

    printf "co appears to be installed to %s\n\n" "${0%/*}"
    printf "checkout location defaults to ./reponame\n\n"
    exit
