Is there a tool that allows me to point to a subversion repository to browse the contents of the repository. I am thinking something similar to what trac provides with SCM. I describe some of the features here for those not familiar with trac's source integration:

• access it from a browser - it must be a webapp
• ability to view any version of a file. Preferably this feature can be invoked using a url. This means one can link to a specific version of a file.
• display on a single page all the modified files in a changeset (gravy: show the diffs of the modified files)
• ability to display (in a color coded way) the diff between two versions of a file with the ability to invoke it using a url.
• a time line of changes to the repository with modified files for each changeset.
• It would be great if it's open source but doesn't have to be.

What other features should a whizzbang web based repository viewer have?

Answer 1

I use WebSVN with Cruise Control .Net integration, so every build email shows the files modified and click on them shows a diff

I like trac much better but can't get my company to switch

Answer 2

We use WebSVN. It has all of the features mentioned above. The reason we don't use trac is because we use FogBugz as our issue tracker, and since websvn was purely a repository browser, it fit well with FogBugz.

Answer 3

Sventon is an excellent repository browser. I've written earlier about what I like about Sventon here.

I think Sventon meets your requirements (my understanding from your question), and some other nice stuff:

• Web application and so WAR installation is a breeze.
• Easy configuration.
• Support for multiple repositories.
• Files/directories can be downloaded as compressed archives (zip).
• Diff is good, three modes — inline, side-by-side and unified diff.
• If you are using Hudson for build management Sventon is supported.
• If you are using Jira and using Subversion plugin, relatively easy configuration.

Answer 4

If you want to slim down Trac, components can be enabled and disabled via trac.ini. Take a look at the components section of the TracIni documentation.

Answer 5

Here at my company we use ViewVC

Answer 6

I like to use WebSvn. But I haven't tried much else.
