<svn>

Executes the svn command specified by the command attribute.

Parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
command	string	The svn command to execute.	False
uri	string	TODO: Add more documentation when I understand all svn root possibilities/ protocols. The svn root is usually in the form of a URL from which the server, protocol and path information can be derived. Although the path to the repository can also be determined from this the information is more implicit than explicit. For example a subversion root URL of: http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/doc/book/tools would have the following components: protocol: http/ web_dav username: anonymous servername: svn.collab.net repository: /repos/svn server path: /trunk/doc/book/tools In addition the revision path or branch can also be determined as subversion stores this information as a seperate physical directory. In this example: revision: trunk	True
commandline	string		False
destination	directory		False
failonerror	bool	Determines if task failure stops the build, or is just reported. The default is true.	False
if	bool	If true then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true.	False
passfile	file		False
password	string	The pasword to use to login to svn.	False
quiet	bool	Specifies whether to print as little information as possible. The default is false.	False
rsh	file	The executable to use for ssh communication.	False
timeout	int	The maximum amount of time the application is allowed to execute, expressed in milliseconds. Defaults to no time-out.	False
unless	bool	Opposite of `if`. If false then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false.	False
username	string	The user performing the checkout.	False
verbose	bool	Determines whether the task should report detailed build log messages. The default is false.	False

Framework-configurable parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
useruntimeengine	bool	Specifies whether the external program should be executed using a runtime engine, if configured. The default is false.	False

Nested Elements:

<fileset>

</fileset>

<arg>

The command-line arguments for the external program.

Represents a command-line argument.

Parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
dir	directory	The value for a directory-based command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute path of the directory.	False
file	file	The name of a file as a single command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute filename of the file.	False
if	bool	Indicates if the argument should be passed to the external program. If true then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true.	False
line	string	List of command-line arguments; will be passed to the executable as is.	False
path	<path>	The value for a PATH-like command-line argument; you can use `:` or `;` as path separators and NAnt will convert it to the platform's local conventions, while resolving references to environment variables.	False
unless	bool	Indicates if the argument should not be passed to the external program. If false then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false.	False
value	string	A single command-line argument; can contain space characters.	False

Nested Elements:

<path>

Sets a single command-line argument and treats it like a PATH - ensures the right separator for the local platform is used.

</path>

Examples

A single command-line argument containing a space character.
```
<arg value="-l -a" />
    
```
Two separate command-line arguments.
```
<arg line="-l -a" />
    
```
A single command-line argument with the value \dir;\dir2;\dir3 on DOS-based systems and /dir:/dir2:/dir3 on Unix-like systems.
```
<arg path="/dir;/dir2:\dir3" />
    
```

</arg>
