By the way, what is the difference between '<<' links and 'br' link in the above mentioned annotate/blame interface? I'd like to say that I prefer gitweb's marking blame by blocks, not by lines, and extra info on mouseover. But having blame navigation capability of perforce web interface would be really nice (I think "git gui blame" has something like this; I don't know about other tools like qgit, giggle, or ugit). > Since we're going to move the official perl 5 vcs to git (many many > thanks to Sam Vilain for that, BTW), BTW. how in your opinion Git compares to Perforce, both as a tool itself, and also about quality of companion tools such like gitweb or git-gui? > I'm more or less trying to > duplicate this blame log navigation in gitweb.

Will you want to use git-diff-tree to mark differences from the version we came from (marked by 'hp', 'hpb' and 'fp' URI parameters), or would you rather extend git-blame? -- Jakub Narebski Poland -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
