It seems to me rather poor that readers of our CHANGES file have to manually
follow references to revision numbers and issue numbers. Examples:
[[[
- Server-side bugfixes:
* svnadmin dump shouldn't canonicalize svn:date (issue #4767)
* 'svnadmin verify --keep-going --quiet' shows an error summary (r1837790)
]]]
I have shortcuts defined in my browser for going to a revision or an issue by
number, but must users don't, so I feel it is pretty unfriendly to them.
As the file format is pretty regular, would anyone care to contemplate
post-processing it into HTML with the revision numbers and issue numbers as
hyperlinks?
I would suggest keeping the current file format as the original and posting the
processed version somewhere. A static link in the original (text file) could
point to the canonical URL of the HTML version. Just a trunk version would be
sufficient initially, updated at least at every release and preferably more
often.
