#5 Tree incorporates stats of subdirs

[Anonymous]

It would be nice if there was an option by each
directory in the 'tree' view to view stats for that
directory and all subdirectories aggregated together.
For example, if I had a tree view like this:
-/
-dat
-src
-tools
-mission
-utils
-doc

then it would be nice to be able to view stats for
tools+mission+utils by clicking on the 'src'
directory. Right now, it will just give me stats for
the files in 'src' directory alone.

Hmm, the spacing of my example didn't come out right when I
submitted this. In the beautiful diagram above: tools,
mission, and utils are supposed to be subdirs of 'src'.

I think Mike's idea is very good- most tools operating on
directory hierarchies aggregate statistics on a
"dir+all_subdirs"-basis - imagine a cvs module consisting of
various subdirs, each maintained primarily by a specific
developer (-group) - stats on only the files in a subdir
don't seem to be too useful.
just my 2 (euro) cents :-)

I agreed with Mike. It would be very useful if it did this.

For example, if I want the stats of this (current/src/prefs/)
directory under my CVSROOT and have it collate all the stats
of the subdirectories under prefs.

Prefs doesnt have many files in it, so the stats say there are
like 5 lines of code for Prefs and that doesnt look impressive :(

I agree as well, this is in my oppinion the main drawback of
statcvs at the moment.
