Making subversion look pretty
I've noticed that the subversion web access (eg
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/) looks ugly. Are there any mechanisms to
pretty this up ?
Is this within the scope of subversion or should I do this with an external
tool ?
Are there plans to add this sort of functionality to the product ?
Best Regards,
Daniel F Garcia.

Or install Horde's Chora which also now supports subversion.

I hear it.

What would be truly convenient would be to notice that DAV doesn't
require that we do anything at all for GETs of directories -- wow, how
nice to lose that chunk of code that we don't technically *need* to
support! But, we're nice folks, so we'll provide a simple,
easy-to-maintain[1] directory listing for the benefit of our users.

built-in lack of complexity.

I'd hate to loose the simple look. I don't need any of the fancy stuff most
of the time, besides, it would prevent me from running some content directly
out of my repository.
bye,
Erik.

A repository viewer can be written to output XML.

I agree completely. The only thing I could wish for is a way to view a
revision other than HEAD in the web interface.

I like the idea of doing the visuals through xml/xsl. It gives you a lot of
power and allows subversion to focus on what subversion does.
Most of my business application run on a windwos box using asp .net. I
already have standard templates for my web applications and it will be a
simple thing to just point to an xml data source and do some basic
manipulations.

I know you would eat my head for this :-) but IMHO the web based interface
which mod_dav_svn provides should include a full repository viewer with
features such as that ViewCVS provides.
What is the use of a HTML interface to the repository? Quick and dirty way
of browsing files? I think a repository maintenance software should feature
a ViewCVS-like interface in the HTML interface.
You can argue from perception that we'd be spoiling the "simple look" of the
current interface, but a featureful repository viewer should be part of the
Subversion distribution. Don't you think it would be convenient to provide
such an interface for users, rather than the current "simple look" ?

I should also mention that the party line is basically, "this is as far

Yes, it outputs xml that you can mix with your own CSS.
For example, check this link: http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn-xml/
It's all in the svn book here:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/html-chunk/ch05s04.html#svn-ch-5-sect-4.1
Look for the part about "XSLT".
