Through the web app, it should be possible to display a revisions history for a specific path in the
filesystem associated to an origin or a snapshot.
As a first work on the subject, let's try to generate a simplified history similar to what git log, GitHub or GitLab offer.
| Status | Assigned | Task | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Migrated | gitlab-migration | T785 browse: Enrich directory and content views with more metadata | ||
| Migrated | gitlab-migration | T1284 Display simplified revisions history for a specific path |
A first implementation of the algorithm has landed in swh-storage rDSTO88c33ccfdea2bb9cd7d6ef81bff79d115f4ab9de.
Nevertheless, its performances are not optimal when processing a large revisions history.
So it can not be used in the browse web application in production yet.
To be continued ...
