NAME
       SVK::Help::View - Introduction to svk view support

DESCRIPTION
       [Views are a BETA-quality feature. We're very interested in bug reports and feeback about them.]

       svk allows you to define multiple different views for an existing repository.

       DEFINING A VIEW

       views are stored as property "svk:view:NAME" on a directory.  Suppose you have "svk:view:ptest" set on "//project", you can refer to it by
       "//^project/ptest".  That is, a caret, and then path holding the property, a slash, and the name of the view.

       You can now use "//^project/ptest" as a target for normal svk commands like ls, checkout and diff.

       Here is an example for the value of the property:

	&:/project/trunk
	-*
	dir1  dir1
	util  src/deep/util

       The first line is the base of the view.	The &: sign means the root of a mirror, so the view can still be used even if other people
       mirrored the repository to a different path in their local repository.

       The second line means taking out all the content under the root.  And then take "dir1" back, stick the directory "src/deep/util" to "util"
       under the view.	So running "svk ls //^project/ptest" you should see:

	dir1/
	util/
