Question

I have a repository that is running subversion. Some users have not been committing regularly. I’d like to send out a weekly reminder to those that have not committed during the last week. Is there a way to determine when each users last submit date was?

Answer 1

Without trying to address whether you should do it or not, the following will give you a unique list of users who committed between DATE1 and DATE2

svn log -r'{DATE1}:{DATE2}' | grep -E '\|' | cut -f2 -d'|' | sort | uniq

Where DATE1 and DATE2 are formatted as yyyymmdd.

I presume that once you have a list of users who committed, you’ll know who didn’t as you could compare it against a full list (e.g. diff committed_users.txt all_users.txt).
