%general-entities; ]> svn commit or svn ci. This command recursively sends your changes to the Subversion server. It will commit changed files, added files and deleted files. The -m and -F options can be used to pass a log message to the command. If you don't specify a -m "MESSAGE" or -F "Filename" option, Subversion will open the default editor and ask you to type in a log message. The default editor is specified by the environment variable, $SVN_EDITOR. For example, to set your default editor to vim, run: export SVN_EDITOR=vim Please don't use empty log messages (see later in this document on the policy which governs them).
