Simple Subversion log viewer

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

I've recently been involved in the upgrade and migration of a fairly large, customised deployment of the Moodle open source e-Learning platform at the University of Bath.

To help us understand the code changes that had been made by several different developers over a number of years, I wrote a simple Subversion log viewer to extract the logs and output them to a spreadsheet.

The spreadsheet format allowed non-technical staff to identify why modifications were made and was useful in identifying which features and bugfixes would need to be reimplemented by the development team.

I have made the simple Subversion log viewer and Java source code available on Google Code.
