selecting individual files..

[Steven Sagerian <st...@comcast.net>]

I just installed subversion and it occurs to me that revisioning the 
entire file structure doesnt allow me to roll back changes on specific 
files? or does it?

How do I decide I want version x of subsystem/directory X and version Y 
of subsystem/directory y ?

Thanks,
Steven

A working copy can consist of files and directories at multiple 
different revisions.

You can call 'svn update' on an individual file or directory to update 
it to a given revision, regardless of the revision the rest of the tree 
is at.

As for rolling back changes, you're probably looking for 'svn merge', 
and it works just the same on an individual file or directory as it does 
on your whole working copy.

Perhaps if you give us an example of what you're trying to do we could 
be of more help, because it's not clear what you're having trouble with 
from this email.
