svn:external Log Interleaved with Host Project Log

[Deon Joubert]

Has anyone found a way of showing the logs of svn:external files and directories between the "normal" log message of the host project?

Is this worth a issue request on TortoiseSVN?

I think this thread is enough as to inform everyone of the request, but it would probably reqiure someone new to step up and write the code.

Kind regards,

I should maybe mention that such a feature won't be implemented, I wouldn't even accept a patch for this.

The reason is very simple: performance.

Imagine a repo with e.g. just 20 externals (that's a low number, I've seen repos with over 100 externals). To do what you ask for would require to fetch the log of all externals, then merge and filter afterwards.

HOWEVER,
(as a final attempt for this to get some attention)
What if the interleaved svn:externals' logs were only fetched and shown if an checkbox to show them is chosen like what happens today with "Include merged revisions"?

Thanks for clarifying that Stefan...
