Keeping up with Revisions

May 15, 2007 00:01

While Google Code has some great features, one of the areas where it's sorely lacking is in providing visibility into the history of changes to the code base. You can do this within the SVN client, but it's a bit cumbersome. So I've put together the following page, which pulls the revision history from the repository and displays it in a paged GridView. The data is on a 1 minute cache, so it's pretty close to real time. It's just a start, but if you find it helpful, let me know...

It's a bit of a hack that basically involves invoking the SVN command-line executable, retrieving the revision log in XML format and writing it to disk, then loading that XML into a DataSet and binding it to a GridView....

I'll post a more detailed explanation tomorrow...

Does Google supply an RSS feed of the check-ins or any such syndication? Something like that certainly would make it easier to implement a quick-and-dirty revision viewer.

At any rate, I'm looking forward to the coming post with more details (and the code?) for the page. I'd like to add a page like this to the http://subtextproject.com/">Subtext site as well - to help make the daily development activities a bit more transparent to visitors/users.

I've seen post-commit hooks that generate rss feeds. I think it would be better to create a post-commit hook that posts to a blog engine, because generating static RSS feeds is not the ideal approach.
