I noted this and asked if there is a way to get the revision when the directory was actually ADDED thus making it possible to extract the timestamp.

Apart from the timestamp I want for other purposes I am also after the revision for a changed file when it was last changed (forgot this when posting). So I want to create a commit email including info that we are used to having in the emails we get from our earlier system. This includes a list with the following for each changed item: -Item that was changed (dir or file, available in svnlook changed) -revision it was changed (i.e. the commit revision - simple) -revision it was last changed before this commit (how to do this?) -a command to diff the new file version with the previous So my mail will contain this tabular list: Op Item rev previous_rev diff_revs (Op is D U _U or UU from svnlook changed) All but the two last items are simple.... >> There's a good chance that >whatever you're trying to use svnlook for has already been implemented >half a dozen times, using an existing tool might get you to your goal >quite a bit faster. Not for me because all the hook scripts I have looked at are either too simplistic (basically pushing svnlook info and svnlook changed into the mail body) or they are written in a language I do not master... I am almost done now, only lacking a way to find the revision of the last change before the current for all file items in the list of changes. I will skip the diff-revs link for now because it relied on the ViewVc service for the CVS repository where a diff was available and I only had to calculate the url of the proper diff to put into the email. Now I first have to install and make working the ViewVc version which is able to work with svn.... -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden
