Author: romain (ports committer) Date: Tue Oct 17 17:43:45 2017 New Revision: 51127 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/51127 Log: The documentation incorrectly states that % svn copy foo.c bar.c and % cp foo.c bar.c % svn add bar.c are equivalent. However, the first one keeps foo.c history and the second gets rid of it. Fix this and explain the difference.
