Question

I’m using Apache Subversion for the first time with Visual Studio + AnkhSVN plug-in. I’m using it alone, just for me to test it. If I commit a new update, there is always a field where I can describe my changes (commit message). I thought that’s a good idea, because I can always protocol the stuff I did there. But somehow I never see this text anywhere. So this protocol doesn’t make any sense? Or how can I see this?

Answer 1

The commit message will be stored in the subversion repository – you need to look at the commit log to see it.

This can be seen when you right-click a file, Subversion -> View History.
