SVN Log Searching

[matt.chugg]

I already had the db from the rss feed, and I was bored, I mean REALLY bored

The simplest thing to do is just fire your search terms into the box and hit enter, the system will then show you the twenty latest commits containing your terms.

Example:

inventory putty

This will return the latest 20 commits which have both the words inventory and putty anywhere in the commit message

For those of you who want to get more complex, there are some filtering search terms (which can be used in conjunction with simple words if necessary)
These can all be used in conjunction with each other, although may obviously return an empty set of results

revision:1092

will return the commit details for the specific revision

revision>1092 revision<2000 inventory

will return the top 20 commits between revision 1093 and 1999 containing the word inventory

author:roippi

will make the system only return commits by roippi

file:apirequest

will make the system only return commits which modified any file whose name contains apirequest

Actually, for those of us working on the wiki, this could be quite useful; google searching for SVN results has been slow & painful in the past; this works quite quickly. Thanks!

Google searching for SVN? Ugh. I use TortoiseSVN to search it which is pretty good.

This is better though.

Searching through the SVN is quite useful when I need to find information on some obscure point of an ash command. I need to do it from time to time, so I'm happy for this. It will be useful and appreciated.

This is very cool! Thanks!

It's also very useful for this.

History lessons en masse?

ok, I guess its actually vaugly useful then!

minor addition: searching for revision:xxxx will show that specific revision. i'll do some more work on it next time i'm bored!

This is an odd request, and I'm not sure how useful it is to everyone else, but now and again I like to see what else was changed surrounding a particular revision. Is it possible to add left and right arrows to go to the next/previous revision, once searching by number?

Either way, this is a fantastic tool - cheers!

i'll see what I can do, I planned for the revision number to link to an actual page with the full revision details (author, date, file changes, build link, maybe some kind of diff), the result was suspposed to just show a snippet in the same style as most search type things. with a link to the full result so with a full revision page, a previous and back wouldn't be a problem!

Another idea that just entered my head... enter a revision range and see all the combined revision notes for that range, maybe usedul for when the devs do the major build number bumps!

Was this moved too when the SVN RSS feed moved to http://mattchugg.com/kolmafia/svnrss.php? I used it rarely but I found it very useful when needed.
