Generate release notes from Subversion

Question

Is there a way to generate release notes from Subversion comments? Basically I'd be happy if I could just capture the information that you see if you view the log. But if I copy and paste from the log into a text editor, I get a lot of other information I don't want (the lists of files modified with each revision).

you should check out svn2cl, since you likely want to generate these release notes between two revisions, where just redirecting the log will get all the messages - but may get more of them than you actually want.

You can use the CL client and run

svn log > log.txt

and you'll only get the log messages without any additional info.
