SVN - Get all commit messages for a file?
svn log filename will show all commit messages associated with filename. The output will look something like the following:
------------------------------------------------------------------------r1206 | kalebp | 2010-03-10 16:48:12 -0800 (Wed, 10 Mar 2010) | 1 lineIntroduce a TranslatorFacade. Make the jar runnable by default.------------------------------------------------------------------------r1085 | kalebp | 2010-03-02 17:10:28 -0800 (Wed, 04 Nov 2009) | 1 lineAnnotation checker now supports complete definitions and named parameters------------------------------------------------------------------------...If you don't want information prior to a branch or copy there is a --stop-on-copy option that you can add. See svn help log for more information, such as how to specify date ranges, etc.
EDIT:
You can easily grab by a date range using svn log -r{20100101}:{20100331}. I don't like the idea of calling log for changed files, so I'd recommend using the -v flag to get a list of files that changed in the commit.
Here's the process that I would use:
svn log -r{20100101}:{20100331} -v --xml | xsltproc formatter.xsl -And here's formatter.xsl:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" exclude-result-prefixes="xsd" version="1.0" ><xsl:output method="text" indent="no" /><xsl:key name="paths-key" match="/log/logentry/paths" use="path" /><xsl:template match="log/logentry"> <xsl:for-each select="paths/path[count(. | key('paths-key', paths/path)[1]) = 1]"> <xsl:sort select="text()"/> -- <xsl:value-of select="text()" /> <xsl:for-each select="key('paths-key', .)/preceding-sibling::date"> <xsl:sort select="translate(text(), '-:.T','')"/> <xsl:variable name="selectedDate" select="text()"/> <xsl:value-of select="translate($selectedDate, 'T', ' ')"/><xsl:text> </xsl:text> <xsl:for-each select="following-sibling::msg"> * <xsl:variable name="msg" select="text()"/> <xsl:variable name="date" select="preceding-sibling::date/text()"/> <xsl:if test="$selectedDate = $date"> <xsl:text> </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="$msg"/> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:for-each></xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>
