## Functions

The SVN Annotate View is part of the SVN Repository Exploring Perspective and allows you to review the revision history for a specifc file, right down to the individual line of code.

The view is comprised of three distinct areas:

- The first pane shows a list of all the individuals that have changed this file along with the revision number and the total number of lines changed as part of that revision.
- The Eclipse text viewer showing the contents of the selected file at the head revision.
- The SVN Resource History View for the selected file.

The SVN Resource History View and the view of the file contents are dynamically linked to the revision panel. Left clicking an entry in the revision pane will highlight all of the lines that were modified in the file in the text viewer. In the same way, when a line in the text viewer is selected, the revision author will be highlighted in the revision pane. The SVN Resource History View is automatically updated to provide the full details of each revision selected.
