[chora] Re: PHP script for viewing subversion repositories

[Jay Freeman (saurik)]

OK, actually... I have a much MUCH better version of that patch :).

ftp://ftp.saurik.com/pub/chora/chora-svn-2b

This one manages to get rid of the usages of svnadmin and svnlook (and
thereby can generate the log pages with a single svn call rather than
[number of log entries + 1]). This does have an issue with what I believe is
a bug in 'svn log' so I can't honor CVSLIB_LOG_QUICK as well as I should due
to '-r HEAD' returning an empty log if the item wasn't actually changed in
the HEAD revision. I'll see if it's still in the latest version of svn soon
and if it is I'll report it to them. I do at least bail on the output
parsing, though.

Note that this change _also_ has a really, really cool side effect. You now
specify the "location" for the repository as a URL to the repository. So it
might be file:///vcs/svn/myrepos if it's locally, but now you can do
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn and have it just feed off the WebDAV.

For a sample of this:

http://mail.saurik.com/horde/chora/cvs.php/?rt=Subversion

This is the Subversion peoples' repository, fed with this configuration:

$sourceroots['Subversion'] = array(
    'name' => 'Subversion',
    'location' => 'http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn',
    'title' => 'A Compelling Replacement for CVS',
    'type' => 'svn'
);

Sincerely,
Jay Freeman (saurik)
