Something I didn’t know Yesterday

Using the SVN client you can pass –xml to most of the commands to get a response in XML!

This is great for apps that use the SVN Client API and need to parse the response, for example…

svn log http://svn_url --xml

Will produce a nice XML version of the SVN log.

For good measure you can also use the verbose option to extract even more information…

svn log http://svn_url --xml -v

Pretty cool ey?
