The closest comparable feature set I have worked with is the WebSVN tool which is similar to ViewVC. I need to find out if or how it can be used on remote repositories though.  Might be a hassle to have to setup another web service/site for it but it would be better than managing a different SVN client on each machine (or multiboot OS) I work with.  A quick check shows that it supports local and remote SVN repositories.

On a side note, if anyone knows of a Subversion "thick client" that has 
as rich a feature set as this, I'd like to know about it.  I am not 
aware of one that allows you to view a history of a file or a tree in 
the way that ViewVC does.

I really wish SourceForge would just keep ViewVC as an option.  They 
seem to be going all Apple Maps on us here.

Thanks, I'm now subscribing to that ticket.

So, do you (or anybody else) consider the limited ViewVC-replacement a
show stopper for the Allura migration? I agree with you that this should
really be fixed. OTOH, as a developer, you could use "real" Subversion
clients instead to view this information. Several GUIs are available, in
addition to the command line tools. And hopefully, the code viewer in
Allura will be fixed eventually.

My suggestion is thus that we proceed with the migration.

I added a brief list of critical features that I think are missing from
the new SVN viewer on this bug report:

https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/site-support/480/

Since posting this, they have fixed (2) [apparently a bug] and addressed
(4) with the new "Browse Commits" feature.  However, the ability to pull
up a revision history for just one file and diff between arbitrary
revisions of that file is critical.

You can follow links in the ticket above to get to about a dozen more
tickets regarding user complaints about the new code viewer.

Oh, thanks for pointing this out. Can you describe more in detail what
features are missing? Have you reported this to

My main issue with the new platform at the moment is that they've
replaced the repository browser. Instead of ViewVC, it's now their own
version that, frankly, sucks. There are a lot of beta users, including
me, complaining about this. I am hoping they address that issue or
provide a ViewVC option before the new SF platform is released. I
migrated libjpeg-turbo and have regretted it, because I use the online
repo browser enough that not having a fully functional one has been an
impediment.

Hi. As you perhaps know, Sourceforge is introducing a new platform
called "Allura". Old projects can quite easily migrate.
There are several advantages of doing so:

* SF want projects to migrate, and they are not working on the old
framework any longer. Support cases are often closed with
"wont fix".

* The new interface is nicer and should be easier to use.

More details about Allura can be found here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/allura/wiki/Features/

I think we should proceed with the migration to Allura, but if anyone
objects, please say so. If there are no objections, I will do the
migration 2012-11-29. Please note that the SVN URL will be changed.
