Changeset Consolidation.

[volte]

I've noticed in the timeline view, that people upload (check in) multiple times quite often within minutes, even seconds of their previous check in. Was wondering how hard it would be to add the ability to tree those. By that I mean, group together adjacent check ins by the same user under the latest one of theirs. For example.

22:02 Changeset [1536] by userNumber1
22:01 Changeset [1535] by userNumber1
22:00 Changeset [1534] by userNumber1
21:59 Changeset [1533] by userNumber1
21:58 Changeset [1532] by userNumber1
21:56 Changeset [1531] by userNumber1
21:49 Changeset [1530] by userNumber1
21:48 Changeset [1529] by userNumber1
21:47 Changeset [1528] by userNumber1
21:27 Changeset [1527] by userNumber2
21:22 Changeset [1523] by userNumber1
21:20 Changeset [1522] by userNumber1
21:19 Changeset [1521] by userNumber1

Would become:

22:02 Changeset [1536] by userNumber1
21:27 Changeset [1527] by userNumber2
21:22 Changeset [1523] by userNumber1

With both userNumber1 Changesets being able to expand a list of the adjacent changesets. Does that make sense? Just a little enhancement that would unclutter the timeline page :)

Of if it already exists (which I couldn't find, sorry if it does) tell me how to do so :)

Cheers.

my bad, I messed up on the new lines :! could someone fix that and then delete this post?

Interesting idea. The consolidation could be made if the author and comment remains the same across successive commits. Then the resulting timeline event could be the revision range i.e.

22:02 Changesets [1528:1536] by userNumber1
21:27 Changeset [1527] by userNumber2
21:22 Changesets [1521:1523] by userNumber1

The link should then lead to the Changeset view corresponding to that range.

See also #38 (not necessarily a dup, as explained there).

Implemented in r4769.

With r5129, the above behavior can be disabled. See related discussion on googlegroups:trac-dev:5238b2e91e0149f8.

See #6221. This behavior will have to be explicitly enabled.
