Introduction
A tool to generate a changelog with Subversion from the commits occurring since the last tag. This is intended to simplify creating tag commit-messages. Messages are generated starting from the oldest.
I'm no more a fan of Subversion than the next, modern developer, but it still exists. If I have to use it, I'm going to make it as painless as possible.
Installation
Install via PyPI:
$ sudo pip install svncl
Usage
To generate a changelog:
$ svncl . https://svnserver.com/tags/project - Setup fix. - Removed obsolete references to collections package. - Updates are now stored in S3. - Added parallel S3 downloading.
This represents the four commits that have occurred since the last tag/release.
To do a release and simply pipe the output of svncl into the commit-message:
$ svncl . https://svnserver.com/tags/project1 | \
svn cp -F - \
https://svnserver.com/trunk/project1 \
https://svnserver.com/tags/project1/project1-1.4.4
Committed revision 767.
$ svn log -l 1 https://svnserver.com/tags/project1
