RE: svn log questions

Someone else gave the pointer to the answer, but I'll flesh it out, because
I was mystified too.

The critical question is "What does -r{2004-12-09} mean?

The answer is "The last revision (in the file's database) before the
specified date/time." This may not be quite what you want, but it satisfies
two iron rules: 1. A -r must specify a revision in the database, and 2. The
meaning of a -r, that is, the revision that it specifies, is idependent of
the context in which it appears.

In your case, there were no revisions after 2004-12-03, so *both*
"-r{2004-12-09 15:00:05}" and "-r{2004-12-09 16:00:35}" mean that same
revision.

What you really want, "All revisions between two dates" cannot be asked for,
because there is no way to do it under the two iron rules.

im having an issue with svn log that maybe someone can set me straight on.

my svn log command is the following:

C:\>"svn" log --non-interactive -v --username "test" --password "test" -r
"{2004-12-09 15:00:05}:{2004-12-09 16:00:35}"
http://subversionurl/svn/oss/nmsRelease/trunk

my results of the above command are the following:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r16 | test | 2004-12-03 17:42:57 -0500 (Fri, 03 Dec 2004) | 1 line
Changed paths:
   M /nmsRelease/trunk/nms-prov/src/ncss/temp/XMLHelper.java

update sample response xml
------------------------------------------------------------------------

My request is to see revisions between 12-9-2004 at 3:00 pm and 12-9-2004 at
4:00 pm (show me changes to the repository that took place in the last
hour). The results im getting back is my last update back on December 3rd.
Should i be doing something differently, my expectation would be that i
wouldnt get any log messages, since there have been no updates to any files
in the repository since 12/3. Is this a wrong assumption or is there
another way to get my desired results?

thank you for any assistance.

See "The Limitations of Mixed Revisions" in the Subversion book:

Hope that helps,
