Solved How to svn up -r {"some-date-in-time"}?

[Chris_H]

Greetings, all. I need to rewind a copy of /usr/src to a place in time (don't know the specific revision).
Question is; the svn(1) (subversion(1)) doc's claim the following is the way to do it:

svn update -r {"2015-11-24 00:18"}

Which gleefully returns:

svn: E205000: Syntax error in revision argument '2015-11-24 00:18'

Well, that's not going to get it. So what's the magic incantation?

Thanks!

Your command works fine in zsh, so I blame your shell for not passing the {} to SVN

Using svn update -r '{2015-11-24 00:18}' works fine with csh(1) and sh(1).

Heh. It's the little things that get, ya. Misquoting. The man(1) page quotes it thusly:

{'DATE'}

Thanks for the correction, tobik!

greatly appreciated.
