Bringing SVN to a particular revision; useful with DBScripts

Checkout into a new directory:

svn checkout -r 1310 http://svn.repositoryurl.example.com/path/to/repos newlocalfolder
# Checks out a new working copy at r1310

Or update a working copy to a given revision number:

cd local-folder-for-repo
svn update -r 1310
# Updates an existing working copy to r1310

(Note: You cannot make changes and commit from an old checkout like these.)

Can be used with dbscripts

./dbscripts/restore.php production none

To have the database and code in synch.

Update

Actually, you can simply 'restore production none' to populate those tables with production's version, then you do a regular restore to update everything else to the dev version. That will populate your watchdog, search, user, etc, data from production.

./dbscripts/restore.php production none
./dbscripts/restore.php
