Subversion: Review changes

Answer 1

If you're asking for generic code review, there are lots of tools that work with svn. One of the most prominent is ReviewBoard.

If you're asking about a way to add commit log messages, then there's a bit of a conceptual mismatch: svn uses atomic commits, so all the changes in a given commit get the same message.

Answer 2

I typically simply use the TortoiseSVN commit dialog for this.

• svn commit => dialog shows up with list of changes
• one by one, I can review the changes, and write my commit message in the dialog
• the best part of it is that TortoiseSVN remembers commit messages. Even if I click cancel, I can continue with the same message previously created.

Very simple, no extra tools needed.
