rcs $Log$ equivalent?
Hi, all,
We're having a look at Subversion as a possible replacement for an RCS
based source repository, and I can't see anything corresponding to the
RCS $Log$ keyword -- have I missed it somewhere, or is this something
we'd have to learn to live without?

Cheers,
John

I'm adding a target to my Makefile's to do this:
svn log -v | gnuify-changelog.pl > Changes
so that the Changes file in the distribution (this is for CPAN) is always an
accurate representation of the activity for that release. Obviously this would
be a bad thing for large projects, but it's fine for the little modules I am
releasing.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions.

I think just telling people to use "svn log" instead will suffice. There
may be initial whinging... ;-)

Doesn't exist within Subversion, AFAIK mostly due to the long history of
problems that CVS has had with it over the years. There are ways to get
something similar, depending on what you really want.
