Hi,

Before I flood Mantis with feature requests <wink>, I thought it might
be worth to discuss some ideal here first and then only put the worth
while features in Mantis. This will help guide Darius or whoever is
working on the SVN integration.

Please note, I know the SVN integration is in it's early days. I have
no issues there, on the contrary, I think what has been done so far is
pretty impressive and already very useful.


Below are some ideas I have. I'm not sure if they already exist or are
in the pipeline. I just thought I would mention them anyway. Please
feel free to add or extend the list.

  This reduces screen clutter

* caching of information as it's being needed. Due to the limitation
of SVN only storing the most recent revision information to generate
diffs. As soon as you request differences between revisions of the
same file, it takes 30-60 seconds depending on your internet
connection. As soon as such differences get asked for, could those be
cached so if it is requested again, all information in locally
available. I think TortoiseSVN does this as well.

* history (revision) information per file. eg: the active file in the
editor.  So far I can only find revision information per project
level, not file level.

* By default, filter the "commit screen" to only show 'modified' and
'unversioned' files in the grid. There is no need or point for the
'normal' files.


Regards,
