Description

Trac should allow us to set file types (by extension) that should not be diff-ed. A lot of large auto generated xml-based files are showing up in changesets and they really hurt performance and make Trac difficult to use.

  • Priority changed from high to normal
  • Severity changed from major to normal
  • Type changed from defect to enhancement

Note that has an (incomplete) workaround, you can prevent Trac from generation large diff with an option in trac.ini, using the number of files and/or the size of the diff, see TracIni#changeset-section.

The filtering should be based on the file MIME type rather than the file extension BTW.

  • Milestone set to 0.13
  • Owner changed from cboos to rblank

I see that this could be useful. I'll see what I can do.

#7304 was closed as a duplicate. It suggested ignoring files by a list of glob patterns, and not to use the list when a single file is diffed.

  • Keywords bitesized added
  • Owner rblank deleted

Refocusing.
