I have written a tool, svn2cvsgraph ( http://svn2cvsgraph.sourceforge.net/ ) to graphically display svn revision graphs.
Since version 1.6.17 of svn, "svn log -g" no longer shows any merges when examining the repository root. After a discussion, here http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2013-12/0029.shtml I rewrote svn2cvsgraph to not only do "svn log -g" on the repository root, but for trunk and every branch in the repository. After releasing that new version of svn2cvsgraph I found that some merge information is missing from svn versions newer than 1.6.17 even when examining each branch. I filed an issue about this (issue 4477). I could once again rewrite svn2cvsgraph to also work with newer versions of svn. The solution would be to make one call to "svn log -g" not only for each branch but for every revision. I have done some internal testing with this approach and the C code for svn2cvsgraph looks nice and clean, but I still hesitate to make such a version of svn2cvsgraph public. Would people hosting public svn repositories think that it would be nice if some people using my tool would make one svn connection for each revision in the repository? regards Henrik
