How to read changes from SVN repo

Question

I'm trying to do some sort of strange Facebook App which notifies developers of changes on the SVN such as new branches and versions, however to achieve this I need to ask SVN what changes have been made and the comments of those changes,version,etc.. However all the call I found for SVN on tigris.org talk about how do I update my files and such, I just want to know if there's a way to know the actual state of the project tree and how to retrieve details from a specific change

any suggestions are welcome :)

Answer 1

Here is advice on generating an RSS feed from Subversion.

Here are instructions for making a Facebook app that reads an RSS feed.

I expect this in QA by EOB :)

Answer 2

If you want to get away from ready-made RSS, you would be working with the log and diff subcommands/operations. You would ask for the log of commits since the last time you asked, and then get diffs for each change that you're interested in from that list retrieved.
