Glen Smith says nice things about StatCVS:
It certainly passes the “Just Works” test – I was up and running in under 5 minutes – and the graphs it produces are really quite cool.
I love stuff that “Just Works” and try hard to give my apps this quality. This is not always easy with Java apps and classpath hell.
Glen, regarding your complaint that you can’t limit the date range of the report: You actually can do this, not in StatCVS itself but by limiting the range of the CVS log.
This is also a good place to link to Tom Copeland’s great article on StatCVS at developerWorks, which I failed to mention here when it was published. Tom maintains StatCVS reports for hundreds of projects over at RubyForge.
