Feature #605
SVN monkey

Description
Orangutan can be very helpful for employees which use SVN...
What is required for a user to track time? A user must specify work hours, project and maybe issue and a short description...
What does developer which uses SVN do? Runs “update” when comes to the office and runs “commit” when leaves... If we assume that a user always specifies a description when committing (-m) we have a start time, end time and a description! All that we need is project/issue - project can be guessed (or determined if SVN was registered in Redmine) and issue can be extracted from -m message...
That is:- When user does “update” Orangutan starts “tracking”;
- When user goes away and returns Orangutan tracks breaks and saves them somewhere;
- When user commits...
- Orangutan tries to determine the project (if failed the monkey can ask for project later);
- Orangutan tries to determine the issue;
- Orangutan suggests a user to save tasks...
The last is done when there are no conflicts - that is a user did not save any entries for the time a user is believed to work.
That is a user will only be required to answer “yes” per commit (besides the cases when the project is not known)...
