How to use the SVN command line with TortoiseSVN

Question

How do I use the command line for SVN when SVN is installed by Tortoise?

I'm trying to invoke some commands found in Changing a revision property in Subversion, but I'm not seeing the same directory structure under Program Files (x86)\VisualSVN Server (obviously).

That page mostly references setting up SVN hooks on the server, but you can call SVN functions through Tortoise like the following:

<Path to TortoiseSVN>\bin\TortoiseProc.exe /command:<SVNCommand> <Parameters>

For example:

C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoiseProc.exe /command:log /path:"c:\MyRepo\"

TortoiseProc.exe is a GUI program and the "output" will be windows with some information in them, not text to standard output. – Peter Mortensen Feb 24 '12 at 10:14

The directory structure is per repository. You have to look at your repository's folder, not the program folder.

ok, I tried to cd to repositories and also repositories\repoName and tried to run that mv .... command. I must be missing something here. – PositiveGuy Feb 25 '10 at 16:32
Did you look in your working copy or in the _repository_? (The latter is on the _server_, the former on the client.) – sbi Feb 25 '10 at 16:55
