--author ARG option for 'svn log'

[Robert Pluim <rp...@bigfoot.com>]

So, I was trying to track down the log message for a particular
change, and I knew who the committer was, so rather than doing the
sensible thing of 'svn log |less', I added a --author option to svn
log.  Before I go to the effort of making this fit for display, does
anyone think this is a good/bad/indifferent idea?

Here's the bike-shed: if you've specified --author <foo>, and a log
message has no author, then it's _not_ displayed.

I had the same thought.  Would rather see someone write a good filter
based on 'svn log --xml' output, as a separate script.

Oh.  I wasn't. :-)  I wonder if it's the script I was just describing...

OK.

Ah, I wasn't.  Good thing I asked first :-)  I withdraw the
suggestion.

There are so many filters one could do on log data, that building this
particular one into svn feels somewhat random, IMHO.

Call me -0, I guess.
