List of files changed since a certain date using SVN

Question

What kind of SVN command can I run that will get me a list of files changed since a certain date?

Right now I have it as

svn log <url> -r {2010-11-01}:{2011-05-04} > log.txt

That almost work, but it only shows the revisions and comments but not the files list.

if you use -v you will get a list of files embedded in each commit log entry. if youre just trying to assemble a cumulative list though this probably isnt what you want – Amandaamandi

Answer 1

Add the --verbose (or -v) flag and you'll get a list of all affected paths as well as the log messages. If you want to get rid of the messages, add the --quiet (or -q) flag. So:

svn log <url> -qv -r {2010-11-01}:{2011-05-04} > log.txt

svn log <url> -qv -r \{2010-11-01\}:\{2011-05-04\} > log.txt – Ezequieleziechiele

Answer 2

If you just want each changed file printed once (rather than for each revision in which it was changed), you could also do:

svn diff <url> --summarize -r {2010-11-01}:{2011-05-04} > log.txt

Sadly, this doesn't show files that experienced a reversion in that time frame. – Disconcerted

Do you mean files on which svn revert was used? If so, no method through the VCS will help you, since, by definition, a revert ensures that no changes are recorded. – Squalene

Answer 3

With --verbose, svn log will also print all affected paths with each log message.
