Who Is To Blame?

A utility that combines visual studio and subversion (svn) to find out Who Is To Blame for a collections of errors

Who Is To Blame is a free application which allows you to paste in errors and warnings from Visual Studio and then automatically find out who edited those lines from Subversion's Blame functionality.

Although Blame identifies the developer who edited the line it may be changes by another developer that actually caused the problem - only by investigating can the real culprit be found!

Simply run the WhoIsToBlame.exe then copy the warnings/errors from visual studio (Tip: click in the Errors/Warnings window then choose Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy to get all errors/warnings in the clipboard). Click the Get who is to blame button, wait while Blame is run on each source file and then view the results, ordered by developer.
