enable option for long wiki formatted changeset messages in timeline

[pulsation@…]

oftentimes, i use bulleted points for changesets, which get cut off in the timeline. my cohorts and i use the timeline to get a quick once-over of what the others have committed. so many changesets go through our project that we don't have time to click on each changeset and read the message in its entirety.

so, attached is a patch against the current subversion repository to implement a boolean option under timeline aptly named 'changeset_long_messages' to render the entire changeset message as wiki in the timeline.

patch against dev to enable long wiki-formatted changeset messages in timeline

[pulsation@…]

oh yeah, one more note — i have not tested this patch. we are running 0.9.4. i have a version working under 0.9.4, but the development version of trac includes changes to versioncontrol's get_timeline_messages that has made some modification neccessary.

i have 0.9.4 for reference (which works), so i think i made the translation cleanly, but ymmv.

re: comment — yup, i think i goofed. IANAPD (i am not a python developer — nor am i a police department, but ya know…)

Looks good.

I'm looking forward to this, I'll be able to rid myself of the last custom patch on TracHacks.

Slightly modified patch applied in r3271.

(btw, in the configuration excerpt shown in the r3271 message log, the fact that changeset_show_files is set to some value is irrelevant: I just added it to suggest grouping the changeset related timeline options)

I'd prefer we call the new option changeset_full_messages… long suggests that we're somehow magically adding content to originally brief log messages ;-)
