<p>In recent years, disk space has become outrageously cheap
and abundant, but network bandwidth has not. Therefore, the
Subversion working copy has been optimized around the scarcer
resource.</p>
<p>The <code class="filename">.svn</code> administrative directory
serves the same purpose as the <code class="filename">CVS</code>
directory, except that it also stores read-only,
<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">pristine</span>”</span> copies of your files. This allows you
to do many things offline:</p>
<div class="variablelist">
<dl>
<dt>
<span class="term">
<span class="command">
<strong>svn status</strong>
</span>
</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>Shows you any local changes you've made (see <a class="xref" href="svn.tour.cycle.html#svn.tour.cycle.examine.status" title="See an overview of your changes">the section called “See an overview of your changes”</a>)</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">
<span class="command">
<strong>svn diff</strong>
</span>
</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>Shows you the details of your changes (see <a class="xref" href="svn.tour.cycle.html#svn.tour.cycle.examine.diff" title="Examine the details of your local modifications">the section called “Examine the details of your local modifications”</a>)</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">
<span class="command">
<strong>svn revert</strong>
</span>
</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>Removes your local changes (see <a class="xref" href="svn.tour.cycle.html#svn.tour.cycle.revert" title="Fix Your Mistakes">the section called “Fix Your Mistakes”</a>)</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<p>Also, the cached pristine files allow the Subversion client
to send differences when committing, which CVS cannot do.</p>
<p>The last subcommand in the list—<span class="command"><strong>svn
revert</strong></span>—is new. It will not only remove local
changes, but also unschedule operations such as adds and
deletes. Although deleting the file and then running <strong class="userinput"><code>svn
update</code></strong> will still work, doing so distorts the true
purpose of updating. And, while we're on this subject…</p>
