Article: Create a SVN log-per-user Parser Using SimpleXML

David Coallier in a post over his blog shows you how to create a SVN log-per-user Parser by using SimpleXML. He says, he got this idea when he was trying to get SVN log to display the results for a certain user. Finally he came across #SVN on freenode and SVN log-XML.

With this information, he created a script which can be viewed here.

He says the process is very straightforward and consists of the following basic steps:

bash-2.0$ cd svndirectory;
bash-2.0$ svn log --XML >file.xml
bash-2.0$ touch logResult
bash-2.0$php svnLogParser.php file.xml usernameX logResult
bash-2.0$ vim logResult
