There are many ways to do this. For example, svn log http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/base --limit 5 would show the last 5 commits under /libs/base. Something like svn info http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/base gives two important pieces of information. a.) The current global revision number b.) The last revision that had a change to a file/directory under this path. It would be quite trivial to whip up a perl script which checks for newer revisions via svn info and then goes through the svn log command for the information. Keep in mind that a lot of svn commands have a --xml argument to dump out xml if you'd prefer that. - Andy -- Andrew Ruder http://www.aeruder.net _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
