Seeing a combined diff of many commits in subversion?

Question

I have been asked to review the changes made in SVN revision number 123, 178, 199, 245 and 288 - which are all the commits related to a specific feature. What is the reasonable

Answer 1

Even though this question is long over with, I actually wrote out a script today that is along these lines:

#!/bin/bash

REVISIONS=$@
LAST_REVISION="NULL"
MASTER="master"                             # path to WC

for THIS_REVISION in ${REVISIONS[@]};
do 
    if [ "$LAST_REVISION" != "NULL" ];
    then
        svn diff $MASTER -r ${LAST_REVISION}:${THIS_REVISION} --summarize | while read f;   
        do
            echo ${f#* } | sed "s/[a-zA-Z0-9:\/.]*$MASTER\///" >> "$LAST_REVISION-to-$THIS_REVISION.log"
        done
    fi

    LAST_REVISION=$THIS_REVISION
done

and you can call it like "my_diff_script.sh rev1 rev2 rev3 rev4"

the output would be:

rev1-to-rev2.log 
rev2-to-rev3.log
rev3-to-rev4.log
