Hi,
at http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/5154 we discussed a wiki syntax
extension which makes it easier for everyone to create automatic links
to revisions. Currently, you can only write "r123" to link to revision
123. The problem with this is that many bug reporters and even
developers using Trac don't know this syntax and don't care to learn
(I tried to send emails to our mailing list, but our devs still
sometimes use a different format). IMHO, Trac should not make the user
learn, but instead Trac should try its best to understand the user.
That's why I suggested to allow for these link forms:
* r123
* rev123
* rev 123
* revision123
* revision 123
* Rev123
* Rev 123
* Revision123
* Revision 123

A wiki plugin was created to allow for this, but I think this really
needs to be in Trac's core. Of course, there might be *a few* false
positives, but
1. most of the time they don't harm
2. they can easily be escaped by adding a comma, for example, and this
doesn't require learning any wiki syntax

What do you think?

Bye,
Waldemar Kornewald
