I love the irony in people using ViewCVS for SVN.

I thought the need for ViewCVS is mitigated by the use of Trac?

ViewCVS' new name is ViewVC.

Would that happen to be short for View View Code?
:D

Thanks for that info. Though you just KILLED my irony :(.

View Version Control. And I think authors of ViewCVS also got your irony in the past :)

care to share why SVN version numbers aren't linear? makes no sense to me.

kunzite1 April 8 2006, 07:05:19 UTC

after reading, they're per-commit.

makes it more difficult to read on the individual log pages if you ask me. :\

That's one of the things that's better about perforce than subversion. It keeps both counts.

But if I had to choose between the two, I'd easily choose the global version number with atomic multi-file commits. Everything is so much better with that. Logs are just a minor annoyance in comparison.

This is nice, but I continue to wonder why LJ's multicvs file pulls out memcached, perlbal, gearman, etc… separate things which aren't actually used by the LiveJournal code at all. Do you really run in production with that directory structure?

If you're going to set up Trac for the LiveJournal respositories, could you make the tool that commits to changelog apply something resembling Trac's wiki markup? Specifically I'm interested in the auto-linkification of things like changeset:1543, but just in general it'd be nice to have some consistency between the two. (perhaps extended slightly to also have support for linking to tickets on RequestTracker!)

I am going to install RTx::SVN integration so you can update tickets using markup..

I guess we could pretty much replace changelog with a syndicated feed?

Won't allow for posts to have differing public/protected security, though. :-/
