Generating event_log for code_swarm (was: How to exactly mirror "svn log -v" ?)

[Baptiste Lepilleur]

For those that do not know, code_swarm is a tool to visualize the history of 
a project as a movie (http://vis.cs.ucdavis.edu/~ogawa/codeswarm/).

Arne, I haven't figured how to use --template to customize how each file 
should be displayed (I think it may be possible with formatter, but I 
haven't found any doc on this). Looking at the code, I managed to find a 
solution using a custom style (did not see this in the doc, but I managed to 
understand how it worked from the changelog example).

Just drop the attached file map-cmdline.code_swarm in your Templates 
directory beside map-cmdline.changelog.

You can now output log in a easy to parse format by specifying code_swarm 
in --style:
---
hg.exe log --style code_swarm
martinoc
1214419303 -3600
hgext/convert/cvs.py

pmezard
1215414969 -7200
hgext/mq.py
tests/test-mq-qrefresh
tests/test-mq-qrefresh.out
---

I have modified code_swarm log converter to handle this format (see 
attachment). Just use -m or --mercurial-log on the command-line:
E:\prg\py\ThirdParties\Code_Swarm\codeswarm-read-only\convert_logs>python 
convert_logs.py -m mercurial-hg.log

I have run this through mercurial-stable history and the movie seems to be 
coherent. It is interesting though to see how at some time changes seems to 
be focused on a few files or the large amount of tests being committed.

Let me know how this goes for you,
Baptiste.
