Search Engines…

Bing loves us,
Google thinks we are cool,
and Yahoo would cross the road it it saw us coming…

If you search for “Subversion Hosting” on the three major search engines you will see pretty mush the same bunch of results just in a very different order.

for instance Bing has Code Spaces right at the top (YAY!) however Google has Code Spaces in at number 6 (hmmm!) and Yahoo! has Code Spaces at number 10 (Bah!).

Obviously Bing and Yahoo! mean absolutely nothing when it comes to traffic (relative to google anyway) but its interesting how all three has slightly different opinions about the web. Personally I think Bing have nailed it

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?
