Warn when search isn't starting from root #11

Closed payne911 closed 3 years ago

payne911 commented 3 years ago

Some times you might accidently start your search from a fork and the algorithm will only look into its children, thus potentially leaving a good portion of the fork graph out of the exploration.

Having a way to get the user to be aware that they are not querying a repo which is the root of the tree could be a nice addition.

Additionally, providing a single-click solution that would allow them to search from the root (or the direct parent?) would be nice.

Not the cleanest, but it's a first functional draft.
