Missing diff option #25

Open TBOpen opened 7 years ago

TBOpen commented 7 years ago

The feature I liked the most of the old system was the ability to diff through the versions particularly when trying to find when something was changed. While I like the layout of the new system since you can fit a bunch more versions, it's not usable to me without the diff feature.

Thanks.

Thanks for the report. To follow through on your idea, it might be nice to be able to leverage git and expose the "git blame" feature through the UI. That would allow one to find when something was changed much more easily.

diff option was the only reason I loved the old system.

diff option in old system was extremely helpful for backporting features

Thanks for voting for this feature. You're not the only one requesting it :)

We will see what we can do to have it again...

Cheers,

Michael.

Here is an example from an old LXR website: http://tomoyo.osdn.jp/cgi-bin/lxr/diff/init/main.c?diffval=linux-5.3.18;diffvar=v

Was there any progress on this one?

:+1: Another upvote from me - diff is crucial. Not git blame - I'm looking for all changes in a file between selected versions.
