Hi,

I am looking for a possible solutions to implementing subversion support for 
StatCvs (http://statcvs-xml.berlios.de). StatCvs generates statistics based 
on the cvs log that contains the number of added and removed lines per 
revision. 

I think adding a commit hook that calculates the line deltas for each file 
using 'svn diff' and storing them in an unversioned property is not a big 
deal. 

The problem is retrieving a property for each revision later on, in order to 
analyze them. As far as I understand the "svn propget --revprop -r x" call, 
it is only possible to retrieve a single value at a time. Whereas I would 
like to get the value for all revisions with a single call (something like 
"svn propget --revprop -r x:y").

The better solution however would be to include the properties in the "svn 
log" output as StatCvs needs the log output anyways. 

Maybe a switch could be added to "svn log" command like "--props foo,bar" to 
include a set of properties in the output. 

Before I start hacking the code I would like to know if anybody can think of a 
better way to store and retrieve values for each revision?

Steffen
