I am running an SVN server on an Ubuntu 20.04 LTS system and I have the Apache
connection so I can access it via its web interface.
This works but is *very limited* in functionality, so I am looking for some kind
of GUI interface that can be added to my Ubuntu SVN installation and gives me
functionality to view file revisions, logs etc and also diff revisions using the
web view.
Many years ago (like 20+ years) when I worked at a company using CVS there was a
web interface which had very useful functions in this regard. It was all running
on Windows Server.
It was named ViewCVS (Python based) and was accessed using a web browser towards
the CVS server.
I have tried to search for something similar for SVN and found WebSVN on Github:
https://github.com/websvnphp/websvn
and:
https://websvnphp.github.io/
However, I have yet to find any examples on how its displays look or work and it
also seems to be a rather old project...
WebSVN is still actively maintained (version 2.8.4 was released 2 months
ago) and offers the features you're looking for (view files, logs and
diffs) and more.
I'm not aware of any screenshots, but installing it for evaluation
purposes is reasonably straightforward.
For small to medium-scale projects, I find it a really helpful addition
to the Subversion server. For large-scale projects with more than a
thousand branches or tags, performance will become an issue.
