Display log from a tag -> head
Hi,
consider I made a tag of a version into /tags/project-drop3.
Then I keep on developing and commiting.
Now I want to see all changes since THAT tag like
#> svn log --from /tags/project-drop3:HEAD or
#> svn log --base /tags/project-drop3 .
How would I do that now, in a simple way?
Thanks,
Ronny

That's what I think of all the time, I just din't dare to ask for it :-)
(Because I thought it had been discussed over and over, a long time age,
because it appears rather obvious, at least to me...)

I was not aware that it's even possible to have mixed-revision tags =8-O

Perhaps the ability to give arbitary symbolic names to particular
revisions (with HEAD, etc being reserved).
Of course, with mixed-revision tags, that idea doesn't work either.

I was thinking a day about it and came to the conclusion, that it doesn't
make any sense to allow this for cross-repository URLs or to be TOO generic
about the PATHs.
Withing one repos, it should be relatively straight forward.
I would like to specify something like
--base /tags/project-drop3 --target /tags/project-drop4/HEAD/<revision>
which would be the best mnemonic style, I think, and the paths stay withing
the base-repos the WC is checked out from.
Take THIS as base to compare against, and check everything until THAT.
Should be available for at least svn diff and svn log, I think.
(As I said, within one tree should be rather easy - get last revision from
--base and compare against last revision from --target; you are only
specifying -rSTART:END ranges in another way)

Yep, I was only thinking about a command working within ONE repository,
because 2 arbitrary URLs would be rather complex to do.
I am guilty that I am somewhat inspired by how BitKeeper's revtool works.

Could we somehow "marry" the two features, to have --short for the
above-mentioned?

It's really hard to define such a feature... how would you define the
UI?
The problem is that you're making a whole lot of assumptions here about
the relationship between two URLs -- that they share history in a
really specific way.
Honestly, what I'd really like to see is a new feature like
svn diff URL1 URL2 --short
Where --short (--quiet? whatever it's called) causes the diff command
to print nothing but the single-letter status codes that one normally
sees from 'update' or 'merge'. Then at least you'd be able to see the
list of files that changed between two branches. Not quite the same
thing as seeing the logs, but a lot of people have asked for this.

Thanks for the fast answer, but that method is the one I knew and wanted to
avoid, because it's not "simple" :-)
So how about introducing a short-cut-command?
It would retrieve the last revision from the tag/branch/... and then do a
log -r <last_from_branch>:HEAD.
Maybe for 1.2 ? I'd fill in the feature-request if it is reasonable to you.
Cheers,
Ronny

Look at the bottom of this document, at the section called "Seeing the
logs between two tags." In your case, you'd want to compare -rX:HEAD,
where X is the revision of trunk where the tag was copied from.
