On my notebook, I felt really miserable to see that the middle band taking so much space to show rev committer timestamp and parents. The bottom window starts with the same information repeated (worse, with unreadable timestamp format) and I had to scroll all the way down to view the rest of the commit message. If you absolutely want the middle band, maybe instead of showing object names in "Parents" "Children" part, you can show the one-line commit logs from them there, and pop-up the object names along with the rest of commit log message as mouse hovers over. I missed "this commit is branch head of X" and "this commit is tagged with T" markers gitk has. Needs a bit more compact layout to be useful for me. In short, gitk's display does everything I want it to show in a compact enough way and I think there is no reason not to imitate it. Do colors of nodes have any significance? I couldn't tell from the UI (and I tried to figure it out without reading code -- otherwise I cannot tell if the choice of colors is intuitive). It might match more people's expectation if --with-diff were the default.

But the problem now is merge commits doesn't show the commit messages. Adding -m also didn't help. Any suggestion -aneesh ``` ## Jonas Fonseca, 2006-02-02 12:21 Subject: [PATCH] Fix date display Message-ID: <20060202122124.GB9756@diku.dk> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20060202122124.GB9756%40diku.dk In-Reply-To: ``` Hello, Here is a patch that uses the tz info for setting commit dates. --- a/gitview 2006-02-02 12:29:05.000000000 +0100 +++ b/gitview 2006-02-02 12:28:24.000000000 +0100 @@ -31,6 +31,7 @@ have_gtksourceview = False print "Running without gtksourceview module" +re_ident = re.compile('(author|committer) (?P.*) (?P\d+) (?P[+-]\d{4})') def list_to_string(args, skip): count = len(args) @@ -43,6 +44,16 @@ return str_arg +def show_date(epoch, tz): + secs = float(epoch) + tzsecs = float(tz[1:3]) * 3600 + tzsecs += float(tz[3:5]) * 60 + if (tz[0] == "+"): + secs += tzsecs + else: + secs -= tzsecs + return time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", time.gmtime(secs)) + class CellRendererGraph(gtk.GenericCellRenderer): """Cell renderer for directed graph. @@ -277,22 +288,15 @@ if (m != None): continue - - m = re.match("author", line) - if (m != None ): - patch_author = re.split(" ", line) - self.author = list_to_string(patch_author[1:-2], 0) - self.date = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", - time.gmtime(float(patch_author[-2]))) - continue - - m = re.match("committer", line) - if (m != None ): - patch_committer = re.split(" ", line) - self.committer = list_to_string(patch_committer[1:-2], 0) - self.commit_date = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", - time.gmtime(float(patch_committer[-2]))) - continue + m = re_ident.match(line) + if (m != None): + date = show_date(m.group('epoch'), m.group('tz')) + if m.group(1)[0] == 'a': + self.author = m.group('ident') + self.date = date + else: + self.committer = m.group('ident') + self.commit_date = date def get_message(self, with_diff=0): if (with_diff == 1): -- Jonas Fonseca ``` ## Aneesh Kumar, 2006-02-02 16:03 Subject: Re: gitview 0.3 Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/cc723f590602020803u72bdff2ek95fba2ea30970170%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <7vzmlauw35.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> ``` On 2/2/06, Junio C Hamano wrote: > Nice work for 0.low-number version. > > On my notebook, I felt really miserable to see that the middle > band taking so much space to show rev committer timestamp and > parents.

I have rearranged the default with respect these frames. Attaching the code below.

We _could_ make a contrib/gitview directory to keep it there, and as somebody else comes up with a new interesting git application, add a new directory in contrib/ to expand that area. But personally I am not enthused about keeping other peoples' projects in git.git tree [*1*]. I'd rather see you start your own public repository, propagate your changes from there, and run it as your own project. Even though it is currently a single file 'project', you will want to add more stuff, maybe splitting the code to use your own *.py module to import into the main program, and add *.c files to interface with the lower level and Makefile to describe the build rules once we start libifying git. I suspect we are all better off if we keep separate projects separate in the long run. Somebody (I think it was Sean Estabrooks but I may be mistaken) once offered to host git projects at a site he controls. I wonder if you can get him interested... [Footnote] *1* I was not too happy to see gitk merged in with "the coolest merge ever" myself, but that was done before my time. "Not too happy" does not necessarily mean I object to it. All things considered I think it was a good thing: (1) as a showcase of how cool a merge can be, it was a good demonstration; (2) coming with a repository browser usable out-of-box with minimum dependencies was a good thing (tcl/tk is pretty much available universally for easy install); (3) it is a good example program of how a repository browser can be done. ``` ## Andreas Ericsson, 2006-02-03 09:20 Subject: Re: gitview 0.3 Message-ID: <43E32075.9010507@op5.se> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/43E32075.9010507%40op5.se In-Reply-To: <7vzml9kp9q.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> ``` Junio C Hamano wrote: > > Somebody (I think it was Sean Estabrooks but I may be mistaken) > once offered to host git projects at a site he controls.
