Description
The layout change from 0.6.1 to 0.7 on the changeset header looks to me like a setback. My svn repository averages 6-9 folders deep because I track multiple projects and Java is not exactly a terse language with class and package names. The log messages and file list end up competing for space and end up creating alot of wasted space and look addly positioned in the browser.
I found 0.6.1 header more readable and layed out better in Firefox & IE.
I also (still) think the font size on the folder position in the browser view is way to large - I would say it was perfect @ 12 pt - or whatever it was for 0.6.1.

The header is changing in 0.7.1. cmlenz has half a patch ready, but didn't make it into 0.7.
The font size in the Browser heading is simply too large, just like you say. It should be a standard H1 element like all other pages.
Thanks for your report. :)

Filed ticket #420 to discuss the browser path links size problem described here, as that's a separate issue.

This is now fixed in [555].
The markup underlying the changeset overview is now a table. A definition list might have been better, but was pretty much impossible to get to look right on IE/Win. But a table is not that bad, either.
This change also removes the "Revision" field, because the revision number is always the same as the changeset number, which is already being displayed in the header.
The file list is now always on the left side among the other fields, between the author and the message fields. This should scale a lot better for long path names.
Daniel, please port this change to the 0.7-stable branch, insufficient karma here).
I'm currently working on this.
