I wanted to know when I’ve kept my vacations so I wrote small Python script to find out.

pysvnlog2ics parses SVN XML commit log and creates iCalendar .ics file from it. This resulted in many .ics files as in work I use one repository per project and over the years this count is in hundreds today. So I wrote another script – pyicalmerge which combines those .ics files to one big .ics file. Then I just uploaded that giant .ics file to Google Calendar and now I have all my commits in my calendar and can easily see the vacation gaps.
