Very often, for a some large FLOSS project (often but not always |
| 2 |
packaged by gentoo) I am interested in answering the question: |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
Which official released released versions V1.0, V2.0 etc contain a |
| 5 |
particular commit C1ABCDE? |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Using branches as an imperfect but mostly OK proxy for releases, the |
| 8 |
question becomes: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Into which branches B_1_0_foo, B_2_0_bar etc has C1ABCDE been merged? |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Unfortunately I know of no direct way of answering either question with |
| 13 |
the web UI of github and its siblings, and this has bugged me for a long |
| 14 |
time. Of course I can clone the repository and answer the question with |
| 15 |
command line git or gitk, but for really large projects this consumes |
| 16 |
considerable resources on my computer, and worse, significant time for |
| 17 |
the download. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
So, am I missing some feature of github which would allow me to do this? |
