There exists lots of documentation in Internet about this great editor, for example the following links are very useful:




Integration with Subversion


There exist several plugins for the integration of Emacs with Subversion
, but the best one is Svn Status Mode. It's work is based on previous plugins, like vc-svn and dsvn.



Installation


You can get the very latest version with any of the following commands:


  1. sudo svn export http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/contrib/client-side/emacs/psvn.el /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/psvn.el

  2. sudo wget -O /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/psvn.el http://www.xsteve.at/prg/emacs/psvn.el

  3. sudo wget -O /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/psvn.el http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/contrib/client-side/emacs/psvn.el


Add the following line to your ~/.emacs


(require 'psvn)


How to use


From now on, you find a new menu entry Tools-->SVN Status in the XEmacs.


  • You can also launch the command Alt-x svn-status directory .

  • It opens a new buffer *svn-status* where you can see all files controlled by Subversion, with flags that indicate there state.

  • Inside the XEmacs you have a menu which gives you access to all kind of commands for commiting and more, if not, just have a look at the mentioned Wiki or issue the command Ctrl-h m.
