CommitMonitor

CommitMonitor is a lightweight software application whose purpose is to help you monitor Apache Subversion repositories for new commits.

It comes in handy in case you have multiple repositories under a VNParentPath with the SVNListParentPath directive activated in Apache, as the tool is able to automatically detect commits to one or more of the repositories and shows popup notifications.

The tool adopts clean and user-friendly looks with all its features neatly organized in the main window. The projects that you monitor are revealed in an Explorer-like layout so you can easily browse throughout them.

You can check the projects, edit or remove them, mark all notifications as read, apply filters, and show commits from ignored users. The app runs quietly in the system tray without interfering with your work.

CommitMonitor gives you the possibility to add a new project to the list by specifying the name, selecting the source control, as well as adding the URL to monitor.

What’s more, you can make the application automatically perform checks at a user-defined time (in minutes), enter the authentication parameters (username and password), specify the maximum number of log entries to keep, and create exclusion and inclusion lists with users.

Last but not least, you can ignore commits based on a log message, add a script/command to call when new revisions are detected, insert a URL for web-based viewer and disable the execution process if ignored commits are detected.

CommitMonitor can be run at Windows startup, and you can ignore EOLs and whitespace changes, show or hide popup notifications, play sound notifications (you may opt for a preset one or add a custom audio file from your computer), enter the number of log messages to fetch for new projects, and notify on connection errors.

To sum things up, CommitMonitor proves to be a handy tool that offers a straightforward solution for helping you monitor Apache Subversion repositories for new commits. Thanks to its intuitive GUI, it can be mastered by rookies and professionals alike. There’s also a portable edition available for download in case you want to skip the installation process.
