| 3 | This file describes a couple of decisons we have taken and why we have |
|---|
| 4 | taken them. |
|---|
| 5 | |
|---|
| 6 | * Consider using Node::log(0) rather than class SVNlog directly |
|---|
| 7 | |
|---|
| 8 | Node::log(0) is recursive in that it returns the union of the log |
|---|
| 9 | of *this and its daughters. Naively there should be no difference, |
|---|
| 10 | but one counter-example is when a file was created in a branch and |
|---|
| 11 | merged into trunk. The log of the file will then contain the |
|---|
| 12 | history in the branch while the directory log will only contain the |
|---|
| 13 | changeset when the file was merged into trunk (note this is true |
|---|
| 14 | for subversion 1.4 but may have changed in later versions merges |
|---|
| 15 | are handled differently). Another example is when a file is moved |
|---|
| 16 | to another directory. That file log will reflect the entire history |
|---|
| 17 | of the file, while the new mother directory of the file only |
|---|
| 18 | contain the changeset of the move. As most statistics is recursive |
|---|
| 19 | we want to use the recursive log. |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | |
|---|
| 22 | * Do not use features in report that requires a web server |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | It should be possible to view the report in your favorite browser |
|---|
| 25 | directly through the file system without a web server. Besides that |
|---|
| 26 | it is useful for users, it makes it easier for developers to |
|---|
| 27 | inspect the report of the test repository in the regression |
|---|
| 28 | test. This decision implies (obviously) that server side includes |
|---|
| 29 | (SSI) and any kind of scripts such as java scripts are not allowed |
|---|
| 30 | in the generated report. |
