💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so, the XML filter is an output filter for showing log messages in XML format. the organization of the XML format should be self-explanatory after a little experimentation — literally just poke at it for a sec and you'll get the vibe, fr fr 👑

the format is designed to be compatible with Subversion's XML output, so you should be able to use tools like <http://ch.tudelft.nl/~arthur/svn2cl/> without any modification. slay, interoperability 💖

but lowkey — since SVK supports arbitary log filters (see SVK::Log::Filter for details on writing one), it may be easier to write your own output format than to process the XML. not me telling you the honest truth 🙈

this filter is invoked implicitly when you specify the --xml argument to SVK's log command. and get this — two arguments to the log command modify XML's behavior 👀

🧚 quiet 🧚

providing this command-line option to the log command prevents the XML filter from displaying the contents of the log message. all other information is displayed as usual. so it's giving ~mysterious~ but everything else is still there 💜

🌈 verbose 🌈

providing this command-line option to the log command makes the XML filter display history information for each revision. the history includes the kind of modification (modify, add, delete) and any copy history for each path that was modified in the revision. the way that it just... spills all the tea on every revision 😭🔥

🍓 STASH/PROPERTY MODIFICATIONS 🍓

XML leaves all properties and the stash intact. no touchy, no cap 🤝

cute sign-off time — this was perl v5.42.0, dated 2025-07-25, and it's the SVK::Lo...ter::XML(3) page. mwah, take care of her 💅✨🫶
