v2 v3 1 = Viewing Revision Logs =1 = Viewing Revision Logs 2 2 [[TracGuideToc]] 3 3 4 When you browse the repository, it's always possible to query the 5 ''Revision Log'' view corresponding to the path you're currently seeing. 6 This will display a list of the most recent changesets in which the 7 current path or any other path below it has been modified. 4 Each path in the //Repository Browser// contains a contextual navigation link to the //Revision Log//. The //Revision Log// displays a list of the most recent changesets in which the current path or any other path below it has been modified. 8 5 9 == The Revision Log Form ==6 == The Revision Log Form 10 7 11 It's possible to set the revision at which the revision log should 12 start, using the ''View log starting at'' field. An empty value 13 or a value of ''head'' is taken to be the newest changeset. 8 It is possible to set the revision at which the revision log should start, using the ''View log starting at'' field. An empty value or a value of ''head'' is interpreted as the newest changeset. 14 9 15 It's also possible to specify the revision at which the log should 16 stop, using the ''back to'' field. By default, it's left empty, 17 which means the revision log will stop as soon as 100 revisions have 18 been listed. 10 It is also possible to specify the revision at which the log should stop, using the ''Back to'' field. By default it is empty, 11 which means the revision log will show the [TracIni#revisionlog-default_log_limit-option default log limit], which defaults to the latest 100 revisions. 19 12 20 Also, there are three modes of operation of the revision log.13 There are three modes of operation of the revision log. 21 14 22 By default, the revision log ''stops on copy'', which means that 23 whenever an ''Add'', ''Copy'' or ''Rename'' operation is detected, 24 no older revision will be shown. That's very convenient when working 25 with branches, as one only sees the history corresponding to what 26 has been done on the branch. 15 By default, the revision log ''stops on copy'', which means that whenever an ''Add'', ''Copy'' or ''Rename'' operation is detected, no older revision will be shown. That's very convenient when working with branches, as one only sees the history for that branch. 27 16 28 It's also possible to indicate that one wants to see what happened 29 before a ''Copy'' or ''Rename'' change, by selecting the 30 ''Follow copies'' mode. This will cross all copies or renames changes. 31 Each time the name of the path changes, there will be an additional 32 indentation level. That way, the changes on the different paths 33 are easily grouped together visually. 17 It is also possible to indicate that one wants include what happened before a ''Copy'' or ''Rename'' change, by selecting the 18 ''Follow copies'' mode. This will continue to list all revisions across copies and renames. 19 Each time the name of the path changes, there will be an additional indentation level. That way, the changes on the different paths are easily grouped together visually. 34 20 35 It's even possible to go past an ''Add'' change, in order to see 36 if there has been a ''Delete'' change on that path, before 37 that ''Add''. This mode corresponds to the mode called 38 ''Show only adds, moves and deletes''. 39 While quite useful at times, be aware that this operation is quite 40 resource intensive. 21 It is even possible to go past an ''Add'' change, in order to see if there has been a ''Delete'' change on that path, before 22 that ''Add''. This mode is labeled ''Show only adds, moves and deletes''. The operation can be quite resource intensive and therefore take some time to display. 41 23 42 Finally, there's also a checkbox ''Show full log messages'', 43 which controls whether the full content of the commit log message 24 Finally, there's a checkbox ''Show full log messages'', which controls whether the full content of the commit log message 44 25 should be displayed for each change, or only a shortened version of it. 45 26 46 == The Revision Log Information ==27 == The Revision Log Information 47 28 48 For each revision log entry, there are 7 columns: 49 1. The first column contains a pair of radio buttons and should be used 50 for selecting the ''old'' and the ''new'' revisions that will be 51 used for [wiki:TracRevisionLog#viewingtheactualchanges viewing the actual changes]. 29 For each revision log entry, the following columns are displayed: 30 1. The first column contains a pair of radio buttons and should be used 31 for selecting the ''old'' and the ''new'' revisions that will be used for [#InspectingChangesBetweenRevisions viewing the actual changes]. 52 32 1. A color code (similar to the one used for the 53 [ wiki:TracChangeset#ChangesetHeader changesets]) indicatingkind of change.33 [TracChangeset#ChangesetHeader changesets]) indicates the kind of change. 54 34 Clicking on this column refreshes the revision log so that it restarts 55 35 with this change. … … 57 37 This is a link to the TracBrowser, using the displayed revision as the base line. 58 38 Next to it, you can see a little "wheel" icon [[Image(htdocs:../common/changeset.png)]], which is clickable and leads to the TracChangeset view for that revision. 59 1. The '''Date''' at which the change was made. 60 The date is displayed as the time elapsed from the date of the revision. The time 61 elapsed is displayed as the number of hours, days, weeks, months, or years. 39 1. The '''Age'''/'''Date''' at which the change was made. 40 Depending on your [/prefs/localization session preference], the date is displayed in either //Relative// or //Absolute// format. 41 * //Relative// format shows the '''Age''': the time elapsed as the number of hours, days, weeks, months, or years. 42 * //Absolute// format shows the '''Date''' of the revision as a datetime. 62 43 1. The '''Author''' of the change. 63 1. The '''Log Message''', which contains either the truncated or full commit 64 log message, depending on the value of the ''Show full log messages'' 44 1. The '''Log Message''', which contains either the truncated or full commit 45 log message, depending on the value of the ''Show full log messages'' 65 46 checkbox in the form above. 66 67 47 68 == Inspecting Changes Between Revisions ==48 == Inspecting Changes Between Revisions 69 49 70 The ''View changes...'' buttons (placed above and below the list 71 of changes, on the left side) will show the set of differences 72 corresponding to the aggregated changes starting from the ''old'' 73 revision (first radio-button) to the ''new'' revision (second 50 The ''View changes...'' buttons (placed above and below the list of changes, on the left side) will show the set of differences 51 corresponding to the aggregated changes starting from the ''old'' revision (first radio-button) to the ''new'' revision (second 74 52 radio-button), in the TracChangeset view. 75 53 76 Note that the ''old'' revision doesn't need to be actually 77 ''older'' than the ''new'' revision: it simply gives a base 78 for the diff. It's therefore entirely possible to easily 79 generate a ''reverse diff'', for reverting what has been done 54 Note that the ''old'' revision doesn't need to be actually ''older'' than the ''new'' revision: it simply gives a base 55 for the diff. It's therefore entirely possible to easily generate a ''reverse diff'', for reverting what has been done 80 56 in the given range of revisions. 81 57 82 Finally, if the two revisions are identical, the corresponding 83 changeset will be shown (same effect as clicking on the !ChangeSet number). 58 Finally, if the two revisions are identical, the corresponding changeset will be shown. This has the same effect as clicking on the changeset number. 84 59 85 == Alternative Formats ==60 == Alternative Formats 86 61 87 === The !ChangeLog Text ===62 === The !ChangeLog Text 88 63 89 At the bottom of the page, there's a ''!ChangeLog'' link 90 that will show the range of revisions as currently shown, 91 but as a simple text, matching the usual conventions for 92 !ChangeLog files. 64 At the bottom of the page, there's a ''!ChangeLog'' link that will show the range of revisions as currently shown, but as a simple text, matching the usual conventions for !ChangeLog files. 93 65 94 === RSS Support ===66 === RSS Support 95 67 96 The revision log also provides a RSS feed to monitor the changes. 97 To subscribe to a RSS feed for a file or directory, open its 98 revision log in the browser and click the orange 'XML' icon at the bottom 99 of the page.
