PHP script for viewing subversion repositories

Hi all,

I recently wrote a small PHP script which displays subversion
repositories similar (but not as powerful) to viewcvs.
This script calls the svn binary of your system and parses the output.
I wrote it as I had some problems with viewcvs cvs version (first not
getting it installed easily and then not doing some things - diff - for
me correctly).

Although this script is not well tested and even lacking some features
in respect to viewcvs it works well fo me, and so I decided to send it
to this list, so maybe other people could use it too. I most likely wont
do a lot of further changes (as it does what i needed it to do), but if
anyone has problems "installing" it, i could of course try to help out -
just send a mail.
If anyone improves the script I would be happy to get a copy of it.

Please know, that there may be security problems that I don't know of.
(I am not a professional PHP programmer, and this script executes shell
commands - so don't use this script on publically available servers as
long as no one rechecked it for problems regarding security - you have
been warned.)

Things that (should) work:
- browsing the repository
- viewing the logs of a file
- retrieving diffs between a file+revision and the previous revision
- manually switching to a specific revision

Things that dont't work / are missing:
- error handling
- show some sort of revision log for a directory
  (didn't know how to get the revisions of a directory where its direct
  childs changed using an elegant way.)
- not tested on _big_ archives

To install it, simply put the .php file into some direcotry on your
PHP-enabled webserver (you may rename the php file without breaking
something) and edit the top part of the file.
(you have to specify your repositories and such things)

greetings
Martin

PS: I am not on this list any more - so CC for any feedback/question/...
