I would really love a dinky little app that I could point at an arch
repository and then it could tell me the relationship that its
component branches had to each other, and maybe one hop outside of the
repository.
I remember James Blackwell (I think it was he) posted to the
gnu-arch-users list once with some code that walked the supermirror
and generated a graphviz file of the tla branches. That was cool, but
it got pretty large; too large to take in in one sitting.
Basically I have several branches of some code and I haven’t touched
this code for something like 6 months so of course I don’t remember
where I was up to nor which branch I was in. I’d like to see the
relationship between them. Extra points if I can click on a branch
and have it checked out somewhere.
Double-extra points if it also copes with the couple of “config-only”
branches I have and reads the build-config information, and groups
the sub-branches together under the config-only branch.
I think I’m motivated enough to write one… the hard part is going
to be working out how to use pybaz :-)
