Build report from tortoise svn client

Question

I am looking for a solution to build release notes from svn. What I want is a command line utility or something which can get me all the comments of checked in files from a given date.

Thanks

Answer 1

Try something like this:

svn log -r {2008-05-28}:{2008-12-31}

from inside the working copy.

(See the Subversion Book for details)

Clarification: I believe Tortoisesvn doesn't bring a set of svn command-line binaries with it. You will need to install the Subversion package from here

Answer 2

You can get that using the svn command line tools and the log command:

svn log svn://server/repos/trunk -r HEAD:{2009-02-19}

If you want, you can also get an XML formatted output.
