svn log, one line per commit

svn_short_log

#!/usr/bin/awk -f

# Convert the "svn log" output into a one liner format, which is easier to grep
# or use in scripts. Pipe "svn log" into this script

# When we get a line that starts with a revision number, put the data in variables
/^r[0-9]+/ {
    rev=$1
    user=$3
    date=$5
    time=$6
    lines=13
}

# Anything that isn't a revision line, a separator line or an empty line
# will be part of the commit message. Concatenate these into the comment variable
! (/^r[0-9+]/ || /^-+$/ || /^$/) {
  comment = comment $0
}

# With every separator line, output what we stored before and reset the comment variable
# To skip the first line we also check if we've already stored a revision
/^-+$/ && rev {
   printf "%-7.7s | s%-25.25s | %-10.10s %-8.8s | %s \n", rev, user, date, time, comment;
   comment = ""
}

Fixed width output. very easy to read.
