NAME

SVN::Log - Extract change logs from a Subversion server.

SYNOPSIS

use SVN::Log;

my $revs = SVN::Log::retrieve ("svn://host/repos", 1);

print Dumper ($revs);

DESCRIPTION

SVN::Log retrieves and parses the commit logs from Subversion repositories.

VARIABLES

$FORCE_COMMAND_LINE_SVN

If this is true SVN::Log will use the command line svn client instead of the subversion perl bindings when it needs to access the repository.

FUNCTIONS

retrieve

retrieve('svn://host/repos', $start_rev, $end_rev);

Retrieve one or more log messages from a repository. If a second revision is not specified, the revision passed will be retrieved, otherwise the range of revisions from $start_rev to $end_rev will be retrieved.

One or both of $start_rev and $end_rev may be given as HEAD, meaning the most recent (youngest) revision in the repository. To retrieve all the log messages in the repository.

retrieve('svn://host/repos', 1, 'HEAD');

To do the same thing, but retrieve the log messages in reverse order (i.e., most recent log message first):

retrieve('svn://host/repos, 'HEAD', 1);

The revisions are returned as a reference to an array of hashes. Each hash contains the following keys:

revision

The number of the revision.

paths

A hashref indicating the paths modified by this revision. Each key is the name of the path modified in this revision. The value is a reference to another hash, with the following possible keys.

action

The activity that happened to this path. One of A, M, or D, for Added, Modified, or Deleted respectively. This key is always present.

copyfrom_path

If the action was A or M then this path may have been copied from another path in the repository. If it was then this key contains the path in the repository that the file was originally copied from.

copyfrom_rev

If copyfrom_path is set then this value contains the revision that the path in copyfrom_path was copied from.

author

The author of the revision. May legitimately be undefined if the repository allows unauthenticated commits (e.g., over WebDAV).

date

The date of this revision.

message

The commit message from this revision.

Alternatively, you can pass retrieve() a hash containing the repository, start and end revisions, and a callback function which will be called for each revision, like this:

retrieve ({ repository => "svn://svn.example.org/repos",
            start => 1,
            end => 2,
            callback => sub { print @_; } });

The callback will be passed a reference to a hash of paths modified, the revision, the author, the date, and the message associated with the revision.

See SVN::Log::Index for the cannonical example of how to do this.
