To review a patch on the tracker, I have to read and try to make sense
of the raw diff file. Sometimes that is easy, sometimes not.

*After* a patch is applied, I can click the revxxxx link and then the
'text changed' link and see a nice, colored, side-by-side web-pace view
created by ViewVC. Is there any way a 'view' button could be added,
along with the current edit and remove buttons, to produce the same web
page and make it easier to review patches *before* commitment?


Apologies if I've missed this from earlier parts of this thread.

On my windows box I have maintainance versions for 2.6, 2.7, 3.1 and 3.2 plus tortoisesvn. Download the patch file, right click, select tortoisesvn then apply patch. Go to the version I'm interested in. Double click to select the unit test file to start things off. If I'm lucky get a coloured output in parallel highlighting removals, additions and conflicts. If I'm unlucky, get the message "The patch seems outdated". Is this what you're asking for? Can this be (simply) implemented on the issue tracker? What do *nix or OS X users do?

Cheers.

Mark Lawrence.
