From: Petr Baudis Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2005 20:16:56 GMT Subject: Another gitweb wishlist Message-ID: <20050921201656.GA10575@pasky.or.cz> Hello, I have accumulated some more stuff I'm missing in gitweb, so I'm dumping it on you now. ;-) (i) Speed - the http://kernel.org/git/ document takes anytime between roughly 30 seconds to one minute to load. What's taking so long? (ii) I need persistent links to the latest version of . Obvious http://kernel.org/git/?p=cogito/cogito.git;a=blob;f=contrib/ciabot.pl does not quite work right, since there are no links to (most importantly) the plain view (and blob_plain link doesn't work), tree view and such. (iii) Too hard to follow history of renamed files. Let's take git-log.sh. I'll immediately stop at the big rename commit: http://kernel.org/git/?p=git/git.git;a=commit;h=215a7ad1ef790467a4cd3f0dcffbd6e5f04c38f7 If I want to continue following its history before the rename, I have to manually go to the tree of the parent commit and get the history of the original file there. This is quite annoying and significantly reduces practicality of the feature on the GIT repository precisely because of the big rename. (iv) Related to (iii), if you get the hb parameter to the blob view, you should offer the 'diff' and 'history' links in the blob view. Also the 'log' and 'shortlog' links should point to more sensible locations, either the same as in the relevant commit's view, or see (v). (v) Only shortlog is available for per-file history. Perhaps it would be nicer to make 'log' and 'shortlog' links in blob context go to the file's history, and in file history switch between shortlog/log display mode. Thanks, -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ VI has two modes: the one in which it beeps and the one in which it doesn't.
