When doing an "update", show the associated
developer comments, who committed the change,
etc. This would have to be done somewhat cleverly
because typically a lot of files would have the same
information associated with them, and some developer
comments might be excessively long.
Suggested format:
U foo.bar Note #1: by ddyer 6/6/2005 bug fix
in foo()
M mar.mumble see Note #1
Logged In: YES
user_id=382855
A nice idea, but it would require starting a new CVS process
for every single 'U' line. So an update would take several
orders of magnitude longer, even if this was implemented in
the most effective way possible (which BTW is quite
complicated if you want to avoid getting the entire log
for each updated file).
