I periodically go to sites like GitHub looking for ideas on how Fossil might be improved. So just now I was browsing the SQLite mirror that somebody has put there. And I asked the simple question: How did this project start? (I already know the answer, of course, but I'm curious to see how somebody would figure it out if they were not the original author.)
So I locate the initial check-in here: https://github.com/mackyle/sqlite/commit/a3b0e7bbb4e863e1f46ec7de5967e61cc57c8c4b Finding that check-in was an adventure in and of itself. Is there an easy way that I overlooked to find the start of a project in GitHub? But now that I'm on the initial check-in, how do I get to the second check-in? How do I find what comes next? It seems like every check-in information page has a "parent" link. But I can't find any "children" links. What am I missing? When reviewing the changes to a project, how to you move forward in time? I tried going to the "network" graph (https://github.com/mackyle/sqlite/network) which seems similar to the Fossil timeline graph, only sideways. But that graph only seems to go back to 2011-06-03. In other words, the graph only shows about the 5000 most recent changes. How do I go back further in time? Am I wrong to think that clicking through the changes in a project (not necessarily from the beginning, but from some signification event, say the most recent release) in chronological order is something that people might commonly want to do? -- D.
