SVN Notifier

Friday, August 31st, 2007

I just discovered SVN Notifier that allows to watch a subversion repository. This utility from tigris (they also build subversion) displays an icon in your system tray and pops up when other people commit new versions in the repository you want to watch.

You can configure notifications for repositories or sub-folder, and then update your local view from the tool when you get notified of new commits.
It does not allow to automatically update your local view without manual intervention, which might be useful in some cases (but you can easily plan task invoking svn commands to do that).

Useful when the SVN server is not linked to a web interface supporting RSS, like Trac or webSVN.
