Automatically fill changelog.txt after each SVN commit in any IDE

After trying to search for some information about "Dynamic change of changelog.txt file with IDE", i found nothing that could help me to find the answer.

Imagine that I've made some changes in numerous files (PHP Environment) using Eclipse PHP or JetBrains PHPStorm 3+, and i want to commit them into svn repository. Is it possible to configure any of these IDEs to dynamically fill changelog.txt file in predefined format with informations (Date, SVN Comment, etc...) ?

Thanks in advance for any info which will point to the answer.

Solution

  • Not aware of any plugins that do this automatically, but you could write a script using command-line svn tools (svn utilities are installed by default on Linux; on Windows you can use CollabNet SVN or similar). You can pull the svn logs and redirect to changelog.txt in a format you desire.

    You can also do this in python using pysvn module.
