I am looking for recommendations for a SVN client that is less oriented towards the actual act of developing code and committing changesets like most clients, and more oriented towards monitoring a teams SVN activity, browsing source code, looking at commit diffs / changesets etc. A bonus feature would be realtime notification of commits but as long as I can see a list of recent commits and the username and time, and then click on it to see the changeset, that would be cool.
Thanks
Changelists are strictly a client-side organizational tool, so there’s no monitoring you can do there.
If you’re on Windows, there’s CommitMonitor
There are numerous web-based repository viewers like ViewVC and Trac; some of the “packaged solutions” like Subversion Edge and UberSVN bundle repository viewers and management tools together.
The best “monitoring” you can do, though, is talking to your team & discussing what they’re working on.
