Hello, We are migrating from a RCS-like revision control system, RCE, to Subversion.
The users are accustomed to poking around in the directories where the archive files are stored to see what's there in a Linux bash shell. While it is possible to do this using the svn client commands by providing the full path to objects in the repository, it is somewhat inconvenient. A shell user accustomed to using cd, ls, and path completion to inspect a file tree can't use the same methods when inspecting the repository. I noticed svnshell.py. This is similar to what I am looking for. However, svnshell.py is a server-side script. I am looking for a client-side script - we have users at multiple sites that will want to inspect the repository. The key features/commands I am looking for are: 1. a client-side script 2. cd to change the current directory 3. ls to list files 4. path completion using the TAB key 5. info command to invoke svn info on a repository file or dir 6. log command to invoke svn log on a repository file or dir 7. a simple find command Is there anything out there like this? I have not found anything in my web searches so far. If not, any suggestions on what to use as a good starting point? Best regards, Rick Varney
