    4 When you browse the repository, it's always possible to query the
    5 ''Revision Log'' view corresponding to the path you're currently seeing.
    6 This will display a list of the most recent changesets in which the
    7 current path or any other path below it has been modified.
     4When you browse the repository, it is always possible to view the ''Revision Log'' that corresponds to the repository path. This displays a list of the most recent changesets in which the current path or any other path below it has been modified.

    96== The Revision Log Form ==
    107
    11 It's possible to set the revision at which the revision log should
    12 start, using the ''View log starting at'' field. An empty value
    13 or a value of ''head'' is taken to be the newest changeset.
     8It is possible to set the revision at which the revision log should start, using the ''View log starting at'' field. An empty value or a value of ''head'' is interpreted as the newest changeset.
    149
    15 It's also possible to specify the revision at which the log should
    16 stop, using the ''back to'' field. By default, it's left empty,
    17 which means the revision log will stop as soon as 100 revisions have
    18 been listed.
     10It is also possible to specify the revision at which the log should stop, using the ''Back to'' field. By default it is empty,
     11which means the revision log will show the latest 100 revisions.

    2013Also, there are three modes of operation of the revision log.
    2114
    22 By default, the revision log ''stops on copy'', which means that
    23 whenever an ''Add'', ''Copy'' or ''Rename'' operation is detected,
    24 no older revision will be shown. That's very convenient when working
    25 with branches, as one only sees the history corresponding to what
    26 has been done on the branch.

     17It is also possible to indicate that one wants to see what happened before a ''Copy'' or ''Rename'' change, by selecting the
    3018''Follow copies'' mode. This will cross all copies or renames changes.
    31 Each time the name of the path changes, there will be an additional
    32 indentation level. That way, the changes on the different paths
    33 are easily grouped together visually.

    35 It's even possible to go past an ''Add'' change, in order to see
    36 if there has been a ''Delete'' change on that path, before
    37 that ''Add''. This mode corresponds to the mode called
    38 ''Show only adds, moves and deletes''.
    39 While quite useful at times, be aware that this operation is quite
    40 resource intensive.

     22that ''Add''. This mode corresponds to the mode called ''Show only adds, moves and deletes''. This operation can be quite resource intensive and therefore take some time to be shown on screen.

     24Finally, there's also a checkbox ''Show full log messages'', which controls whether the full content of the commit log message
    4425should be displayed for each change, or only a shortened version of it.

    4627== The Revision Log Information ==

    48 For each revision log entry, there are 7 columns shown:
    49  1. The first column contains a pair of radio buttons and should used
     29For each revision log entry, the following columns are displayed:
     30 1. The first column contains a pair of radio buttons and should be used
    5031    for selecting the ''old'' and the ''new'' revisions that will be
    5132    used for [wiki:TracRevisionLog#viewingtheactualchanges viewing the actual changes].
    52  2. A color code (similar to the one used for the [wiki:TracChangeset#ChangesetHeader changesets])
    53     indicating kind of change.
     33 1. A color code (similar to the one used for the
     34    [wiki:TracChangeset#ChangesetHeader changesets]) indicating kind of change.
    5435    Clicking on this column refreshes the revision log so that it restarts
    5536    with this change.
    56  3. The '''Date''' at which the change was made.
    57  4. The '''Revision''' number, displayed as `@xyz`.
    58     This is a link to the TracBrowser, using that revision as the base line.
    59  5. The '''Changeset''' number, displayed as `[xyz]`.
    60     This is a link to the TracChangeset view.
    61  6. The '''Author''' of the change.
    62  7. The '''Log Message''', which contains either a summary or the full commit
     37 1. The '''Revision''' number, displayed as `@xyz`.
     38    This is a link to the TracBrowser, using the displayed revision as the base line.
     39 Next to it, you can see a little "wheel" icon [[Image(htdocs:../common/changeset.png)]],  which is clickable and leads to the TracChangeset view for that revision.
     40 1. The '''Date''' at which the change was made.
     41    The date is displayed as the time elapsed from the date of the revision. The time
     42    elapsed is displayed as the number of hours, days, weeks, months, or years.
     43 1. The '''Author''' of the change.
     44 1. The '''Log Message''', which contains either the truncated or full commit
    6345    log message, depending on the value of the ''Show full log messages''
    6446    checkbox in the form above.

    7454
    75 Note that the ''old'' revision doesn't need to be actually
    76 ''older'' than the ''new'' revision: it simply gives a base
    77 for the diff. It's therefore entirely possible to easily
    78 generate a ''reverse diff'', for reverting what has been done

    81 Finally, if the two revisions are identical, the corresponding
    82 changeset will be shown (same effect as clicking on column 5).
