revision logs need paging links

[Dave Abrahams <dave@…>]

see ​http://trac-hacks.org/log/

The history stops somewhere short of the whole thing; one should be able to get to earlier revisions.

Log paging would be a nice feature to have. Having to update the "Start revision" field manually isn't convenient.

It might also be an idea to have the hard-coded limit turned into a configuration entry.

There's the Older Revisions → page navigation link. Besides, you can hover on any colored box to get the ability to "View log starting at this revision".

The problems related to having a link to Newer Revisions in the current versioncontrol cache is discussed elsewhere (#4760).

Duplicate of #426.

This ticket was filed against 0.10-stable, where that link doesn't exist…. uhh…. there it is, right at the top! How could I have missed that? I'll tell you: when I'm browsing back in history, I get to the bottom of the page and that link is scrolled off the top. I don't think it's a coincidence that several people have overlooked the links at the top; I suggest a navigation link at the bottom, where people's eyes will be anyway.
