So my favourite web tool, Subtlety, was recently discontinued, which means that I no longer have easy access to the commit logs of various SVN projects that I follow. Are there any other tools that easily pump out an RSS feed of commits for a public SVN repo?

A: 

Try Trac. Besides feeds you can browse the repository and it has a nice Wiki.

I like Trac, though it may be overkill for what you need. WebSVN is also a nice tool for browsing repositories over the web. Both of these provide RSS feeds for the log. You can also subscribe to the log for just a particular branch, etc.

There's subveRSSed, which you just drop into your post-commit action.

Atlassian Fisheye ( http://www.atlassian.com/software/fisheye/ ) allows you to get commit notification on email as well as RSS (and as a bonus, you can select which directory/file to subscribe to, and only get notified of those file/dir changes).

SvnFeed

Also check out CommitMonitor for windows, which features really slick diff support

Huh, CommitMonitor seems a bit more intrusive than I want, and also tied to one machine, but interesting nonetheless!

I was going to suggest Trac as well, until I realized you probably don't have administrative control over the repositories in question. Perhaps this apparent solution will work for you?

It seems to work well for the one repository I tried it on, and it's surprisingly fast.

Thanks for the link. That's pretty cool!

Oh man, this is perfect. It actually seems to be better than subtlety, because the files changed link to diff messages. A+++ would ask again.

I was using Sublety as well. It was quite a bummer when it went away. I ended up rolling my own solution. It is .NET based and requires the use of the post-commit hook script. It's free, and I've provided both binaries and source code.

I've just tried sventon with good results. It's a web based SVN viewer, reasonable in what it does, but provides a good RSS feed at whatever level you want to subscribe to.
