I’ve begun developing a small library that wraps the command-line
Subversion commands, so that you can call SVN.copy(src, dest, :message
=> ‘chunky bacon’) etc. These will only cover the methods Subversion
directly supports.
The reason I’m making this library is actually that I want to have Rake
tasks that automate tagging, branching, etc. of my repository.
Currently, the most advanced thing I have is this:
SVN::TagReleaseTask.new do |t|
t.repository = ‘svn://svn.example.org/bacon’
t.version = ‘1.2.3’
end
Calling `rake svn:tag:release’ will then issue the following to the
command line:
As an aside: there are direct Ruby bindings into the underlying libsvn,
so
it’s possible to talk to a SVN repository directly (local or remote)
without
spawning an external command.
Unfortunately libsvn doesn’t seem to be well documented, especially for
remote access. A couple of interesting posts are here:
Wow, I hope you will follow through and stay active. Many people don’t
even
get past the coding part.
I think this will be neat. I already developed a script that
automatically
add .rb files, but it take me several tries and lot of example code. I
hope
this library you’re developing will ease the process of writing SVN ruby
scripts.
I don’t really have anything special to wish for, except an easy to use
API.

Do you have any special wishes? As soon as the Rubyforge submission goes
through I’ll make an alpha gem for those wanting to get their hands
dirty

well i can only wish you good luck - svn support is much needed - from
me i
can paste code that i found on wiki somewhere and modified a little - it
adds/deletes all changed files in directory to SVN.
