So what’s the Ruby way to go from
svn log --limit 40 --xml --verbose
to HTML?
Thanks,

Awesome, thanks.
BTW: I did end up using your commit-email.rb. Thanks!

Question: why isn’t this part of our commit-email.rb? Don’t
you use it as part of your post-commit hook?
BTW: I got a nil String error from $PWD. Here’s my patch,

Excellent, the world will thank you.
Are you hording any other svn gems?
My next project is to figure out how to check inbound
files as part of a pre-commit hook … care to sketch
that out?

Ah, much better.

Hi,
> Are you hording any other svn gems?
All of my gems are committed in Subversion repository:
- [https://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/tools/examples/svnlook.rb](https://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/tools/examples/svnlook.rb)
- [https://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/tools/examples/svnshell.rb](https://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/tools/examples/svnshell.rb)
And you have already seen scripts:
- [https://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/tools/examples/svnlog2html.rb](https://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/tools/examples/svnlog2html.rb)
-

I can’t show you any sample scripts without check condition
details. But svnlook.rb may help you.

No. I made the script only for you. 😉
I added the script to trunk Subversion repository as
example:
[https://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/tools/examples/svnlog2html.rb](https://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/tools/examples/svnlog2html.rb)
> BTW: I got a nil String error from $PWD. Here’s my patch,
Thanks. I used Dir.pwd instead of ENV[‘PWD’].
