History of changes to a particular line of code in Subversion?
Using SVN and/or Tortoise SVN (or any other SVN tool, really), is it possible to view the history for a specific line of a file?
Recently I’ve had several occurrences of coming across a line in a file and wanting to find the log entry associated with its creation (either to determine how old the line of code was, or to get a larger context for why it was added).
Right now I’m doing this by hand. I can display the log for the file, go back a ways, and see if the line in question is present. If it is, I go back further. If it isn’t, I go look at a more recent revision. Repeat until the revision where the change was made is found.
Needless to say, this process is awkward at best, especially for particularly old files. Does anyone know of an automated method of accomplishing this?
