[Statcvs-users] Merged Branch Patch from Atlassian

[Steffen P. <ste...@gm...>]

Hi,

a few weeks ago I received the patch that adds branch support from Scott from 
Atlassian (thanks btw!). Unfortunately the merge did not work out too well, 
since the patch had been diffed against the repository quite a while ago. 
Part of the model classes had changed and the patch conflicted with the 
symbolic names support as it naturally touched the same parts of the code.

Anyways, I just finished a first working branch support implementation based 
on the patch. I decided to take a take a slightly different approach than the 
original patch though. If understood the code correctly, the original patch 
limits the analysis to a single branch, whereas in my implementation  all 
branches that are contained in the log file are added to the model and can 
therefore be analysed. 

Here is an example of the generated output of an analysis of a single branch : 
http://statcvs-xml.berlios.de/branches/branch_branch-support-1-branch.html. 
The commit log on the bottom shows that the revisions are indeed on a branch.

And here is an example comparing three branches: 
http://statcvs-xml.berlios.de/branches/branch_stats.html

The log file was generated by running 'cvs log 
-rbranch-support-1-branch,:HEAD,statcvs' on the statcvs-xml cvs.

I still need to figure out how to calculate the loc correctly but at least the 
parser seems to work. If anybody want to look at the code, it is located in 
the statcvs-xml cvs (http://statcvs-xml.berlios.de/cvs-usage.html) in the 
'branch-support-1-branch' branch.

I am not quite sure what everybody expects from branch support (just analyse a 
single branch? or mutliple branches? or include the head branch up to the 
point where the branch was forked?). 

If anyone want to discuss this or tweak the code, please get in touch with me. 
Either by means of this list or private email.

Steffen
