Reasearch on comment

[Romain Smordowski <ro...@formaltis.fr>]

Hello,
After reasearch on the Internet, I did not find any way to find a project
revision dipending on the comment.
It seems that this functionnality is not yet present in subversion (I did
not find an other place to ask for that).

What I would like is to be able to look in a whole project the commits with
a particular comment (may be with reguar expression). At work we often use
specific comment (such as support issue number) so looking to the
modifications that were done to answer a tocket would save a lot of time.

You can do it, but you have to bring the log down, perhaps in XML.

But, you might want to look into a serverside repo searching tool like FishEye.

FishEye is a commenrial product I've heard of that I think does what you want (though I've never used it), but I'm sure there are others, possibly even open source or at least free ones.

If found, you insert a comment into the ticket (hopefully your issue tracker has an API to do that) linking back to this revision (in a web-based Subversion revision viewer, which you'll probably also want a separate piece of software for, such as WebSVN, Trac, ViewVC, etc.).

This is a good place to ask the question.

You're right, Subversion doesn't have a search feature. There are third-party products you can use for that. You could even build one. They work by indexing your commits as they happen, using a post-commit hook. FishEye is a commenrial product I've heard of that I think does what you want (though I've never used it), but I'm sure there are others, possibly even open source or at least free ones.

This specific feature is usually implemented the other way around: in a post-commit hook, you parse the commit message for the ticket number. If found, you insert a comment into the ticket (hopefully your issue tracker has an API to do that) linking back to this revision (in a web-based Subversion revision viewer, which you'll probably also want a separate piece of software for, such as WebSVN, Trac, ViewVC, etc.).
