This is an xsl stylesheet for generating a classic GNU-style ChangeLog from a Subversion repository log. It is made from several changelog-like scripts using common XSLT constructs found in different places. This is just my implementation.

I made it because it was the only thing that I missed from CVS after I converted a repository to Subversion. I used cvs2cl before.

• 2013-09-13 release 0.14 of svn2cl
• 2010-10-23 release 0.13 of svn2cl
• 2009-10-07 release 0.12 of svn2cl

Usage

To generate a simple ChangeLog use (in your checked out directory):

% svn2cl.sh

To generate the ChangeLog using a custom xslt processor, use something like:

% svn log --xml --verbose | xsltproc svn2cl.xsl - > ChangeLog
