Cliff,
thank you so much for your reply. Yes, for me the term change set would
correlate to a revision in a repository. I don't have the SVN change long in
front of me but yes it seems that 1984 is about the BOT for the repo. It is
the time starting from something like 1979 on I was asking about. As to the
SVN change log, the typical comments are "one line change", "spider pig
crawls", "depreciated"...
As to reading the changes and inferring the intended affect, that seems
obviously backwards. Yes git can show that graphically, but gets no one any
closer to understanding the motivation for the change. In my experience the
bugs list is indispensable in understanding the motivation for the change,
steps needed to replicate a problem and often discussions between developers.
It seems this is a dead end...

We've actually migrated to Git and github now:

I'm not quite sure I understand your question - our CVS repository is our older
history and does still exist, but SVN has that history imported and our current
Git history preserves our full CVS and SVN history all the way back to the
beginning in 1984 so you should be able to see everything there.
Our BUGS and TODO files are where we keep notes on problems and/or things we
want to work on. For each commit (what I think you're referring to as a change
set?), your best source of information is typically the commit message itself,
together with an inspection of what the changes were - the gitk graphical
interface is quite useful for viewing this information.

Good morning brl-cad,
I'm about to scratch a long standing brl-cad itch and embark on some hacking
sessions. I've cloned the SVN repo as one step: now I'd like to explore two
other possibilities. Is there an organized repo predating the stuff in SVN?
Is there a bugs database which correlates to the SVN changes which would help
me understand the motivation or goal or relationship between the change sets?
Assuming such an animal exists, can I get a picture of it?
Thanks for your time
