See last changes in svn

Question

I paused development on a project before going on holidays. Now after a few weeks I'd like to know what were the last things in source I was working on?

Is there a chance to see e.g. in WebSVN the last changes in the whole repository?

Answer 1

svn log - I'm sure WebSVN has some feature for that too.

The "View Log" link near the center-top of the WebSVN overview shows the svn-log. However, the user-interface isn't exactly brilliant; I much prefer TortoiseSVN's log viewer.

Answer 2

svn log -v

Answer 3

svn log -r {2009-09-17}:HEAD

where 2009-09-17 is the date you went on holiday. To see the changed files as well as the summary, add a -v option:

svn log -r {2009-09-17}:HEAD -v

I haven't used WebSVN but there will be a log viewer somewhere that does the equivalent of these commands under the hood.

Answer 4

If you have yet commit you last changes before vacation. - Command line to the project folder. - Type 'svn diff'

If you already commit you last changes before vacation.

• Browse to your project.
• Find a link "View log". Click it.
• Select top two revision and Click "Compare Revisions" button in the bottom. This will show you the different between the latest and the previous revision.

Answer 5

if you have a working copy then svn status will help.

svn status -u -v

the --show-updates (-u) option contacts the repository and adds information about things that are out of date.

Answer 6

You could use CommitMonitor. This little tool uses very little RAM and notifies you of all the commits you've missed.
