For anyone interested, attached is the shell script I use to generate
a log message template for a particular svn diff.
It runs 'svn status' on the given target(s) to find what files to
include, then 'svn diff' for each file, and writes to stdout a log
message and diff in the following format:
[[[
* file/.../name.c
(func_name):
[...]
--- This line and [...] will be ignored ---
Index: file/.../name.c
==================
[...]
]]]
The "This line ..." line allows me to use this whole text as the log
message input file when committing.
By using diff options "no context lines" and "show C function names"
for generating the template part of the output, it gets most function
names right in C files, but get lots of them wrong in header files
where the edits are in a comment preceding a declaration.
That script is brilliant! I hated writing log messages
but now it's just a ~/svnlogmsg.sh | gedit &
Thanks.
