svn diff won't help you much then. you'd probably want to automate something that does: 1. svn update a file to the head 2. svn log -v and find any entries (and the files affected) which were done within the target period. 3. for each entry (ignore old entries, probably, but what you do for old entries depends on your business requirements), in a separate directory, svn update -r to the most recent previous revision (or to the revision on or right after your target start time, e.g., if you're monitoring on an hourly or 4-hour basis then you'd look at 1 hour ago or 4 hours ago), to avoid animators continuously doing svn commit to game the system somehow) and then somehow use your animation software to produce side-by-side images. or something like that. in any case, generally, you can work with svn, but binary formats are not easy to work with and svn diff is useful only for text formats (and even then, e.g., with messy or obtuse file formats, it sometimes isn't all that useful). good luck, and if you do something cool, blog about it. it'll be interesting :-). tiger _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
