I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of some *experimental*
read-only Mercurial repositories containing the combined, useful history of
the various Firefox repositories, all in chronological order and stored in
a more efficient format that is faster to clone and pull from and results
in faster client operations.
Does this mean that it contains the full history including CVS?
No. Adding a Mercurial repo with CVS history isn't on the priority list.
Make a case for it improving developer productivity and it could be.
Spending occasionally tons of times trying to find relevant code in viewvc
(which usability is far from bonsai and even worse than hg blame).
Is wasted developer time not a good enough case?
Also, not having CVS history easily available reduces the quality of the
reviews since at least I too easily
give up looking at the blame if the blame is in CVS.
Using gecko-dev is not an option since Github's blame chokes on any large files
(which happen to contain
most the interesting stuff).
However, thanks a ton for having http://52.25.115.98/viewvc/main/ !
That is better than nothing.
