Using svn for version control? Have lots of repositories you’re interested in? Maybe some of them aren’t under your control, so you can’t set up postcommit hooks?

Check out svncampfire (literally… haha, see what I did there). svncampfire pastes svn commit notices into your Campfire chatroom.

We’ve just released version 1.1, which supports the new official 37signals API for campfire. It’s a great API, much more fun than screenscraping; I chose the JSON flavor because it’s so darn easy. Version 1.1 also adds friendly labels for commits from each distinct repository so it’s easier to see what is going on.

Right now svncampfire is monitoring over half a dozen repositories for us, all thanks to the magic of svn log --xml.
