How can I find all the trunks from several different Subversion servers?

Question

We have many SVN Repo's but many of them have nested projects. I need some way of finding the trunk directories only and creating a list of them.

So, the svn path to trunk might be svn://svnserver/repos/myproject/trunk or it might be svn://svnserver/repos/myproject/mysubproject/trunk

I need to generate a list of /trunk directories from several different servers. Is there a method for doing that? Has anyone seen a script (sh, perl, whatever) for doing something similar? I just need a hint on how to get started.

Answer 1

How about spidering the web interface? This works:

httrack -q https://user:[email protected]/svn/ -O /tmp/svn -c1 -J1000 -t -%k -F HTTrack/3.0x -z -C0 -I0 -p0 -#T
grep trunk /tmp/svn/hts-log

Answer 2

Do you want to look at the repos on the servers or the working copies?

When I've had to do this with a bunch of working copies, I just look for directories with .svn subdirectories then run svn info in each of them. I collate the results. I've never bothered to make a tool out of it though.
