A developer of ours tends not to specify messages when committing his code, I know I could jump up and down and force him to do so from here on in, but how do I deal with the previous commits.
I’d very much like to go in and edit the messages so that they are descriptive of what they do.
How might I go about doing this?
Are you using a specific client for subversion, or just the command line? With TortoiseSVN when you have the list of log messages open, you can right-click on one and choose “Edit log message”.
This link describes how to do it if you don’t have TortoiseSVN (doesn’t sound easy):
