Exporting a Folder System
| Chapter 3. Using eSvn |

## Exporting a Folder System

To obtain a clean directory tree of a remote subversion repository on the local machine use the Export option ( File->Export ... ). The `Export` dialog has the following fields:

URL

  The Universal Resource Locater URL where the remote repository can be found

  For example: `svn://esvn.umputun.com/esvn/trunk`

  Ensure that no leading or lagging blank spaces are inserted before/after the URL string. If this happens an error is returned.

Local path

  A path to a folder resource on the local system. Use the eclipse button to navigate to and specify the path.

Revision

  Select the radio button and enter a value equal to a revision number. KEYWORDS are supported:

  HEAD

    The latest revision in the repository.

  BASE

    The "pristine" revision of an item in a working copy.

  COMMITTED

    The last revision in which an item changed before (or at) BASE.

  PREV

    The revision just before the last revision in which an item changed. (Technically, COMMITTED - 1.)

Date

  Select the radio button and enter a value equal to a revision date or time. Specify date or time using any of the following syntax:

  - 2004-02-17

  - 15:30

  - 15:30:00.200000

  - 2004-02-17 15:30
