provide complete view of each commit

[macias]

When you start kdesvn and open a repo you can see a full set of files from the last commit. But for history, you can see only diffs.

On the other hand, applying diff makes a file -- so in general, creating (on-fly) a complete file is possible.

Or in other words. Let's say you have file A.txt you imported this to repo, checked out, made changes, committed, made changes, committed, made changes, committed, and so on.

For each step of commit it is possible to create a full A.txt file how it looked on this or that commit.

So, after this "introduction" my wish is to add commit timeline.

[<] commit 107(-2) [>]

which says that you are looking at the set of files which were present at point of commit 107 (which is 2 commits back from the latest state). The content of the main panes would look like today.

What's more, if user would click on any file from that commit she/he would see content of the file from that point of time, not diff.

End of the wish.

And clarification -- such feature should be additional to browsing history as diffs, not a replacement, because it says how files looked like at that time, not what was changed.

First: kdesvn let you browse trough repository on a specific revision.

Means: open repository of working copy, than Subversion -> Repository -> Select revision

Now you see the specific state. Of course you now able viewing file contents at this specific revision.

Second: In logbrowser you can select an entry on an selected revision, open the context menu and select Show this version - voila. You see the content at this history point.

I think this is what you wanted.

Thank you, indeed the mechanism is there, and it is what I wished for.

The only missing parts are:

• some GUI guidance when setting it, for example, when you select the numer of revision, there is no range show (a slider might be good). Similarly it good be set for dates (additionally to calendar way of picking up the date).

• visual feedback after setting the release, kdesvn looks exactly the same as before. There should be some hint, what release is currently browsed

Hm. In selecting revisions for browsing is a date picker and some of the most known standard values of revisions like HEAD. A revision slider with max value is a little bit hard - but it is a spinbox which works mostly like a slider. (but without a maximum value).

You're right.

You're right.

Done in commit r1898

Great news! Thank you.

If the slider would be possible, it would be great too -- I think it could be set from 1 to max.commit number. The calendar one is more tricky because all commits would have to be checked.
