Re: [Subclipse-users] Revision graph / missing info?

Please use PNG or JPEG for screenshots in the future. It gives much
smaller attachment sizes.

We only show nodes for folders if they explicitly appear in the list
of paths specified for a revision. IOW, if you create a tag by
copying the parent folder if an item, then only the history of that
folder would record an entry as that is the only item named in the
history output. We generally felt you cannot make a decent SVN
revision graph for a folder because you either have to include all
changes that happen below it, which is so noisy to be useless, or do
what we did and only include specific changes to the folder. This
only gives the right result for top-level folders.

In terms of branches/tags, we consider an item a tag if there were no
changes done after it was created. Given the way that we determine
changes for folders, it would be pretty common for most branches to
come across as tags. Using a file as an example, if you make a branch
and change a bunch of items, but not that file. Then when looking at
history of that file, the branch will be considered a tag.
