For what its worth, currently ForeignAPIRepo is marked as a repo not supporting "old" versions of files. However in terms of the interface, its probably pretty straightforward to change that. All one needs to do is implement some methods to get old versions of files. I assume the original reason is that that is a lot of extra API requests for something most people don't care about. (If we did this, I imagine we'd want it disabled by default, and configurable as a Repo option, as the average instant commons user doesn't need that, and it would slow things down) ---bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
