SVN DIFFSTAT

Creates git like diff stat over a whole svn repository. Only one author and a certain set of files are considered. In addition a chart similar to Code Frequency is created.

This is very raw and not polished software. These are the steps that you need to do to run the software

build the software with mvn clean package
check out the part of the subversion repository you're interested in
run the software in the folder of the working copy you just checked out

Command Line Options

The following command line options are supported:

-author -a: Required. The authors that should be analyzed.
-file -f: Required. The file where to save the generated chart. Will always be a PNG.
-extension -e: Optional. The file extensions that should be analyzed.
-width -w: Optional. The width of the chart in pixels. Defaults to 1200.
-height -h: Optional. The height of the chart in pixels. Defaults to 600.
-double -d -retina -r: Optional. Render in double the resolution, useful for retina Macs. Defaults to false.
-max -m: Optional. Commits with more than this number of lines changed will be ignored. Defaults to 10000.
-protocol -p: Optional. Only initialize support for the given protocol. Options: file, dav, svn.

For example

java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar svn-diffstat/target/svn-diffstat-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar -d -a marschall -e java -f /Users/marschall/tmp/diffstat.png

Sample

This is a sample chart generated from an actual code base.

Just try again, somebody committed during the analysis.

Last but not least I'd like to thank Netcetera for sponsoring the work on this. This was literally a one-weekend-hack as you can see from the commit logs.
