Add SVN support? about gource HOT 13 CLOSED

It would be cool if some keen SVN user contributed support for this. Perhaps a 
script
similar to cvs-exp for CVS that Gource could just parse the output of 
(generating the
log at start up would probably take too long).

Until svn support is added, git-svn works fine. This would also get rid of the 
need to 
query the svn server repeatedly for every new movie, so I think pushing people 
in that 
direction is both easier and the better solution

Are there instructions for using git-svn to visualize my svn repository?

Let me write them down. The following assumes your svn repo lives somewhere and 
has the "standard layout" of three top directories named tags, branches, trunk.

"git svn init --stdlayout https://some.repo.com/path/to/repo reponame"
"cd reponame"
"git svn fetch"
"gource"

If your svn repo has updated, use "git svn rebase" to make it up to date.

All if this is totally untested, but should work

Nice. I'll have to add this to the documentation.

Feel free. Or I can provide a repo for you to pull from?

Sure if you like.

Ok. I'ld love to really test it, but I can't test on my OS X right now due to 
bug 2... So I 
might have to fix the instructions later.

Touché?

I had a go with the instructions and they seem to work so they've been added. 
Also
found a bug in my git-log-command so I've fixed that too. Cheers.

So I guess that wraps up "SVN Support" :)

It would be wonderful if simply calling gource on a svn repo would 
automatically run the git instructions, 
assuming git and svn were installed - but this will do for now, thanks! Can't 
test yet since it won't compile on 
the Mac - and all my Linux boxes don't have any gui stuff installed.
