svn2cl - Create a ChangeLog from a subversion log.

       An authors file is basically an XML file that should look something like:
           <?xmlversion="1.0"encoding="utf-8"?><authors><authoruid="arthur">ArthurdeJong&lt;arthur@arthurdejong.org&gt;</author></authors>
       svn2cl  searches  for <author> tags with the specified uid attribute.  The content from the author tag is
       substituted for the author name.

       The <author> tag may also contain XML child tags which can be useful for embedding HTML into the  result.
       For this to work namespace information should be included for HTML output:
           <?xmlversion="1.0"encoding="utf-8"?><authorsxmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><authoruid="arthur">ArthurdeJong&lt;<html:b>arthur@arthurdejong.org</html:b>&gt;</author></authors>
       The svn2cl distribution contains a sample authors.xml file.

       As  a bonus a plain text authors file that looks like the following is automatically converted to the XML
       representation:
           arthur:ArthurdeJong<arthur@arthurdejong.org>

Version 0.14                                        Oct 2010                                           svn2cl(1)

svn2cl generates a classic GNU-style ChangeLog from the log messages in a subversion repository.  It acts
       as a wrapper around the 'svnlog' command, parsing the XML output with an XSLT stylesheet.  Alternatively
       it can generate HTML output intended for use with the svn2html.css style sheet that comes with svn2cl.

       In  addition to its own options, it accepts and passes along most svn log options; see 'svnhelplog' for
       a list of those and their documentation.  If PATH is not given, svn2cl will run svn log  on  the  current
       directory, so it should do the right thing when run from the top of a subversion checkout of the project.

       --strip-prefix=NAME
              Strip  NAME  from  the first part of all file names (e.g. project/trunk).  By defaults the current
              path inside the repository is stripped.

       --linelen=NUM
              Wrap lines at NUM characters.  By default, lines are wrapped at 75  characters.   This  option  is
              ignored when the --html option is specified.

       --group-by-day
              This option causes all commit messages to be grouped by day, as long as all the changes are by the
              same author.  By default each message is listed separately with its own timestamp.

       --separate-daylogs
              Include  a  blank  line  between  log  entries when they are grouped by day.  Only useful with the
              --group-by-day option.  This  option  is  ignored  when  the  --html  option  is  specified,  edit
              svn2html.css to tune the layout.

       -i, --include-rev
              Include  the  subversion revision number in the ChangeLog.  If the --html option is specified this
              is implied, edit svn2html.css to turn it off.

       -a, --include-actions
              Add action labels [ADD], [DEL] and [CPY] tags to files to show the operation that is performned on
              the files.

       --break-before-msg[=NUM]
              Add a line break (or multiple line breadks) between the paths and the log message.  If the  --html
              option is specified this option is ignored, edit svn2html.css to set spacing.

       --reparagraph
              Newlines inside paragraphs are ignored and paragraphs are re-wrapped.  Paragraphs are separated by
              empty lines.

       --title=NAME
              If  outputting an HTML file the NAME is used as the title.  This option is ignored for normal text
              output.

       --revision-link=NAME
              This option is used to generate links from the revision numbers in the generated  HTML  file.   If
              NAME  contains  two  hashes  '##' that part will be replaced by the revision number, otherwise the
              revision number will be appended to NAME.  Only the first occurrence of '##' will be replaced.
              This option is ignored for normal text output.

       --ticket-link=NAME
              This option is used to generate links from references to tickets within the commit message in  the
              generated  HTML  file.  Anything that looks like a ticket reference (e.g. '#foo') will be replaced
              with a link to NAME with the ticket part ('foo' in the example) appended.
              This option is ignored for normal text output.

       --ticket-prefix=NAME
              This option is used for finding ticket markers in  the  commit  message  (when  the  --ticket-link
              option is used).  The default value is '#'.
              This option is ignored for normal text output.

       --ignore-message-starting=STRING
              Any  log  messages  that  start  with the specified STRING are ignored and will not show up in the
              output.  The STRING comparison is case sensitive.

       -o, -f, --output=FILE, --file=FILE
              Output ChangeLog to FILE instead of the default ChangeLog (or ChangeLog.html for HTML output).

       --stdout
              Output ChangeLog to stdout instead of to a file.

       --authors=FILE
              The FILE is used to map author names as exported by svn to full names.  See the section on AUTHORS
              FILES below for more information.
              Note that the --authors option can have poor performance in some cases.

       --html Generate an HTML file containing a ChangeLog instead of the default  text  ChangeLog  file.   This
              feature  is still experimental.  The svn2html.css file that is included in the distribution can be
              used to format the HTML.

       -h, --help
              Show short summary of options.

       -V, --version
              Show version of program.

       Optional PATH arguments and the following options are passed directly to the 'svn--xmllog' command: -r,
       --revision,  --targets,  --stop-on-copy,  --username,  --password,  --no-auth-cache,   --non-interactive,
       --config-dir and --limit.
       See 'svnhelplog' for more information on these options.

       Run  svn  log  recursively  on  the  current  directory and generate a text ChangeLog file in the current
       directory for the entire log history:
           svn2cl

       Output the changes from the last week, while including revision numbers in the ChangeLog:
           svn2cl-i-r"HEAD:{`date-d'7daysago''+%F%T'`}"
       (actually subversion will include the first revision before the specified period)

       Generate an HTML changelog for svn://svn.example.com/project/trunk,  removing  "project/trunk"  from  the
       file names in the changelog.  Group all commits per day into one ChangeLog entry and only include changes
       from 2005:
           svn2cl--html--strip-prefix=project/trunk--group-by-day\-r'{2006-01-01}:{2005-01-01}'\svn://svn.example.com/project/trunk

       svn2cl - Create a ChangeLog from a subversion log.

       Note that the default revison range for svnlog is BASE:1.   This  means  that  svn2cl  will  not  always
       include the most recent revisons of the repository. Either run 'svnupdate' before running svn2cl or pass
       '-rHEAD:1'.
