Almost everything disappears at the same time
In my gource, at a certain date, almost everything disappears with no reason! When I launch Gource with --output-custom-log, there is no line with deletion in the file at the moment where everything disappears.
Have you tried using the --file-idle-time 0 option?
Yeah, I have the same problem :/
After a few seconds of not being touched, the files "dissapear" from the visualization. To stop this from happening, use --file-idle-time 0.
This also happens when a folder name has changed.
In my situation it is a SVN repo and the rename was on of the main folders.
Everything from this folder is then removed.
It could be detected by checking action="D" path matches action="A" copyfrom-path.
Sample SVN log:
<path action="D" kind="dir">/trunk/CommonCode</path>
<path action="A" kind="dir" copyfrom-path="/trunk/CommonCode" copyfrom-rev="952">/trunk/src</path>
