SVN History Parsing
Hi,
I was wondering how exactly the SVN parsing decides when the history is too far back in time or something? There's at least one project on Ohloh, that I've committed changes to, but is not shown that I have, in the Ohloh stats. The history information is available in the trunk version of the repository, and svn annotate
shows the revision and everything properly. Just wondering if it randomly chooses revision numbers to stop updating below or something. Thanks.

Hi Rodney,
We use the --stop-on-copy option when the retrieve the Subversion log. If you view the log with this option, you will see your project the way Ohloh sees it.
Basically, this option prevents the log from following history outside the current trunk.
Will the switch to svnsync allow removing that option? It's unfortunate that a lot of history is missing due to it, and therefore stats are not as accurate as they should be. Is it a huge performance bottleneck for ohloh?
Hi Rodney,
The switch to svnsync makes branching support possible, but it will take several weeks of uninterrupted development time to make it happen.
I definitely want to fix this -- it's one of our top support issues, and it reflects poorly on many projects. It's near the top of our list of TODOs, but we are a very small team with a lot on our plates.
We are about to open some of our code up, which I hope will alleviate the small team
problem to some degree. Our source line counter should be available in January, and if that goes well, then the source control adapters would be next in line.
