SvnLog

This project opens a directory and shows the logs of all the svn repositories recursively.
Implemented in c++17 and use vcpkg/cmake for the build-system.

It uses the winpp header-only library from: https://github.com/strinque/winpp.

Features

• use nlohmann/json header-only library for json parsing
• scan recursively for all SVN repositories
• handle thousands of commits with ease - only handle/display the visible items
• use multi-thread to retrieve informations for each SVN repository - display progress with progress-bar
• store all commits informations into a json file
• differential update: only retrieve commits infos newer than those stored previously
• date filters: From, To
• regex filters: Branch, Project Path, Author

Requirements

This project uses vcpkg, a free C/C++ package manager for acquiring and managing libraries to build all the required libraries.
It also needs the installation of the winpp, a private header-only library, inside vcpkg.

Install vcpkg

The install procedure can be found in: https://vcpkg.io/en/getting-started.html.
The following procedure installs vcpkg and integrates it in Visual Studio.

Open PowerShell:

cd c:\
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
cd vcpkg
.\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
.\vcpkg.exe integrate install

Create a x64-windows-static-md triplet file used to build the program in shared-mode for Windows CRT libraries but static-mode for third-party libraries:

$VCPKG_DIR = Get-Content "$Env:LocalAppData/vcpkg/vcpkg.path.txt" -Raw 

Set-Content "$VCPKG_DIR/triplets/community/x64-windows-static-md.cmake" 'set(VCPKG_TARGET_ARCHITECTURE x64)
set(VCPKG_CRT_LINKAGE dynamic)
set(VCPKG_LIBRARY_LINKAGE static)
set(VCPKG_BUILD_TYPE release)'

Install winpp ports-files

Copy the vcpkg ports files from winpp header-only library repository to the vcpkg directory.

$VCPKG_DIR = Get-Content "$Env:LocalAppData/vcpkg/vcpkg.path.txt" -Raw 

mkdir $VCPKG_DIR/ports/winpp
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/strinque/winpp/master/vcpkg/ports/winpp/portfile.cmake" -OutFile "$VCPKG_DIR/ports/winpp/portfile.cmake"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/strinque/winpp/master/vcpkg/ports/winpp/vcpkg.json" -OutFile "$VCPKG_DIR/ports/winpp/vcpkg.json"

Build

Build using cmake

To build the program with vcpkg and cmake, follow these steps:

$VCPKG_DIR = Get-Content "$Env:LocalAppData/vcpkg/vcpkg.path.txt" -Raw 

git clone https://github.com/strinque/SvnLog
cd SvnLog
mkdir build; cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="MinSizeRel" `
      -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET="x64-windows-static-md" `
      -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="$VCPKG_DIR/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake" `
      ../
cmake --build . --config MinSizeRel

The program executable should be compiled in: SvnLog\build\src\MinSizeRel\SvnLog.exe.

Build with Visual Studio

Microsoft Visual Studio can automatically install required vcpkg libraries and build the program thanks to the pre-configured files:

• CMakeSettings.json: debug and release settings
• vcpkg.json: libraries dependencies

The following steps needs to be executed in order to build/debug the program:

File => Open => Folder...
  Choose SvnLog root directory
Solution Explorer => Switch between solutions and available views => CMake Targets View
Select x64-release or x64-debug
Select the src\SvnLog.exe (not bin\SvnLog.exe)

To add command-line arguments for debugging the program:

Solution Explorer => Project => (executable) => Debug and Launch Settings => src\program.exe
