Description (last modified by Christian Boos)

In #8843, we added the possibility to display the branch information for each changeset in the timeline.

However, it doesn't look that nice when we also display the list of changed files inline: Example for #8843, as it looks like in Trac 0.12

It would be better to show this label like the gitweb and the hg web interfaces do, after the changeset number, not on the next line.

A second (minor) issue with the above is that we always show the default label for Mercurial repositories. I ended up using a simple ignore list (default, master).

With display-branch-in-event-title-r9966.patch, we have: New layout for the branch labels

A second step is to add support for displaying the tag labels.

With display-tags-in-changeset-events-r9966.patch, we have: Show the tag labelsShow the tag labels (a bit further down in the history)

Remy, your comment on this, please? ;-)

I don't have time to dive into the code ATM, but the result is very nice.

Well, the code was cleaned up during the process of creating this ticket (I previously had some filtering arguments in get_branches() I was not fully convinced about), so my remaining question mark was more if you liked the final result ;-)

Applied in [10076:10077].

I noticed that branch timeline-displaying does not work for SVN commits, though it does with Mercurial commits; you can check that on the t.e.o timeline. Is there a ticket tracking this remaining issue?

in reply to:  5 ; comment:6 by Christian Boos, 12 years ago

Replying to fbrettschneider@…:

Right, it's not implemented for svn.

Is there a ticket tracking this remaining issue?

No, please create a feature request if you like (PatchWelcome applies ;-) ). Implementation hint: same code as for changeset_show_files=location, combined with matching on the patterns given in [svn] branches / tags.

in reply to:  6 ; comment:7 by Christian Boos, 12 years ago

(and btw, one of the reason it's not implemented is precisely because [timeline] changeset_show_files=location somehow already fills that need, you may want to have a try)

Replying to cboos:

Yes, it's perfect for me. Thanks for your hint.
