Ability to view the revision follow-up tree
Closed, DeclinedPublicFeature

Description

Author: happy.melon.wiki

Description:
CR groups revisions into 'trees' based on the commit summary: the revision is assumed to be a follow-up to any revisions named in the summary, and follow-up revisions are listed below the diff on the original commit. But users can make typos, forget to mention the previous commit, or otherwise fail to build a proper tree. And in fact you can't really *see* the full tree structure anywhere, only the immediate parent/child relations.

It would be preferable if the full tree structure for at least a couple of levels either side was visible below the diff, and that there was a way to edit the structure, either in-place or via a separate page.

The structure is already editable in trunk, see bug 25638. Being able to view the full tree structure (not just first-level follow-ups to a rev, but nth-level follow-ups and predecessors as well) would also be useful, yes.

Do you want a list of what this rev links to in it's summary (predecessors) (and any manually referenced), followups to it's followups in the table (or similar) at the bottom?

A more graphical "tree" would be cool, but a predecessor list and an infinite-depth follow-up list would be useful already.

How about an API module first? Maybe someone wants to innovate with the data...

I was just thinking the same. It's certainly something that could be done better ajaxy

Just thinking what we need in the API module (or adding to)...

A list of all followup revisions? Maybe with some basic information?
