See last changes in svn
SvnSvn Problem Overview
I paused development on a project before going on holidays. Now after a few weeks I'd like to know what were the last things in source I was working on?
Is there a chance to see e.g. in WebSVN the last changes in the whole repository?
Svn Solutions
Solution 1 - Svn
Open you working copy folder in console (terminal) and choose commands below. To see last changes: If you have commited last changes use:
svn diff -rPREV
If you left changes in working copy (that's bad practice) than use:
svn diff
To see log of commits: If you're working in branch:
svn log --stop-on-copy
If you're working with trunk:
svn log | head
or just
svn log
Solution 2 - Svn
svn log -r {2009-09-17}:HEAD
where 2009-09-17 is the date you went on holiday. To see the changed files as well as the summary, add a -v option:
svn log -r {2009-09-17}:HEAD -v
I haven't used WebSVN but there will be a log viewer somewhere that does the equivalent of these commands under the hood.
Solution 3 - Svn
If you have not yet commit you last changes before vacation.
- Command line to the project folder.
- Type '
svn diff'
If you already commit you last changes before vacation.
- Browse to your project.
- Find a link "View log". Click it.
- Select top two revision and Click "Compare Revisions" button in the bottom. This will show you the different between the latest and the previous revision.
Solution 4 - Svn
svn log -v
Solution 5 - Svn
If you have a working copy then svn status will help.
svn status -u -v
The --show-updates (-u) option contacts the repository and adds information about things that are out of date.
Solution 6 - Svn
svn log - I'm sure WebSVN has some feature for that too.
The "View Log" link near the center-top of the WebSVN overview shows the svn-log. However, the user-interface isn't exactly brilliant; I much prefer TortoiseSVN's log viewer.
Solution 7 - Svn
You could use CommitMonitor. This little tool uses very little RAM and notifies you of all the commits you've missed.
