Re: Track subversion changes

This should be pretty easy with vanilla SVN tools. I'm not a major SVN expert, but a quick look at the documentation tells me that you can probably say something like this:

svn diff -r '{START DATE}' -r '{END DATE}' --summarize
[download]

...and it will spit out a list of files changed between those dates.

If you really have to have md5 sums, there's a "svn cat" command to get file contents at any revision you want. Pipe that to "md5sum" and go.

Thank you very much for the lightning fast answer! A question - does that mean that i would have to do an "svn update" each time i want to do an "svn diff"? Or is it done automatically if the end date is later than the last version?	[reply]

svn update updates your working copy it doesn't do anything to the repository, so the answer to your first question is no. The answer to your second question is no as well, but not for the reason the question implies. svn help will show you all available svn commands, and svn help <command> will show you the help for specific commands. I'm not wanting to come off as talking down to you, and maybe you know this already, but your question suggests that you might not have much experience with svn.	[reply]

State, i do appreciate all your comments. I'd rather see the info that i already know than you assuming that i know everything :o) Thank you! On a side note, last night i did not have access to svn commands, and was not sure how long it would take our sysadmin to install the package. Im fairly certain that my questions would not have been necessary if i did have access to the man pages. I would not want to bother the Seekers if i could get all that info myself.	[reply]
