BTW, whilst at it, any chance you can fix search by user-id? Currently freshbsd.org/search?project=freebsd&committer=phk doesn't produce the expected results.
- Freaky 6y agoNo. The problem is that to git, a branch is just a reference to the commit currently at the tip of that branch - the rest of the commit graph is completely anonymous sans its position in that graph. Where in SVN it's implicit in the paths a commit touches and in CVS it's a specific field in the RCS metadata for a commit, in Git it's a big graph problem it isn't overly interested in solving. And yes, people keep asking about the legacy username thing - I'll get to it :)
