| 5 | | and specific revisions of files stored in a subversion repository. |
| | 4 | The Trac repository browser can be used to browse specific revisions of directories |
| | 5 | and files stored in the repositories associated with the Trac environment. |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | ''(since 0.12)'': |
| | 8 | At the top-level of the repository browser is the '''Repository Index''', |
| | 9 | listing all the configured repositories. |
| | 10 | Each repository has a name which is used as a path prefix in a |
| | 11 | "virtual" file hierarchy encompassing all the available repositories. |
| | 12 | If a default repository has been configured, its top-level files and directories |
| | 13 | are also listed, in a '''Default Repository''' section placed before the |
| | 14 | repository index. If the default repository is the only repository associated |
| | 15 | with the Trac environment the '''Repository Index''' will be omitted ^[#note-multirepos (1)]^. |
| 12 | | by clicking on the directory names. Clicking on filenames on the other |
| 13 | | hand will display the files change log. |
| | 23 | by clicking on the directory names. |
| | 24 | Clicking on a file name will show the contents of the file. |
| | 25 | Clicking on the revision number of a file or directory will take |
| | 26 | you to the TracRevisionLog for that file. |
| | 27 | Note that there's also a ''Revision Log'' navigation link that will do the |
| | 28 | same for the path currently being examined. |
| | 29 | Clicking on the ''diff'' icon after revision number will display the changes made |
| | 30 | to the files modified in that revision. |
| | 31 | Clicking on the ''Age'' of the file - will take you to that changeset in the timeline. |
| 17 | | The default behavior is to display the latest revision but |
| 18 | | another revision number can easily be selected using the form at the top of the |
| 19 | | page. |
| | 38 | The color bar next to the ''Age'' column gives a visual indication of the age |
| | 39 | of the last change to a file or directory, following the convention that |
| | 40 | '''[[span(style=color:#88f,blue)]]''' is oldest and '''[[span(style=color:#f88,red)]]''' |
| | 41 | is newest, but this can be [TracIni#browser-section configured]. |
| 21 | | '''Note:''' The browser does not use the Subversion access configuration so if you restrict read access to part of the repository in Subversion that same restriction will not be in place in the Trac browser. (Support for this functionality '''is''' being worked on for future Trac versions) |
| | 43 | At the top of the browser page, there's a ''Visit'' drop-down menu which you can use |
| | 44 | to select some interesting places in the repository, for example branches or tags. |
| | 45 | This is sometimes referred to as the ''browser quickjump'' facility. |
| | 46 | The precise meaning and content of this menu depends on your repository backend. |
| | 47 | For Subversion, this list contains by default the top-level trunk directory |
| | 48 | and sub-directories of the top-level branches and tags directories |
| | 49 | (`/trunk`, `/branches/*`, and `/tags/*`). This can be [TracIni#svn-section configured] |
| | 50 | for more advanced cases. |
| 23 | | == RSS Support == |
| | 52 | If you're using a Javascript enabled browser, you'll be able to expand and |
| | 53 | collapse directories in-place by clicking on the arrow head at the right side of a |
| | 54 | directory. Alternatively, the [trac:TracKeys keyboard] can also be used for this: |
| | 55 | - use `'j'` and `'k'` to select the next or previous entry, starting with the first |
| | 56 | - `'o'` (open) to toggle between expanded and collapsed state of the selected |
| | 57 | directory or for visiting the selected file |
| | 58 | - `'v'` (view, visit) and `'<Enter>'`, same as above |
| | 59 | - `'r'` can be used to force the reload of an already expanded directory |
| | 60 | - `'A'` can be used to directly visit a file in annotate (blame) mode |
| | 61 | - `'L'` to view the log for the selected entry |
| | 62 | If no row has been selected using `'j'` or `'k'` these keys will operate on the entry under the mouse . |
| 25 | | The browser module supports RSS syndication to monitor changes to a file. To subscribe to an RSS feed of the revision log for a file, open its revision log in the browser and click the orange 'XML' icon at the bottom of the page. For more information on RSS support in Trac, see TracRss. |
| | 64 | {{{#!comment |
| | 65 | MMM: I guess that some keys are upper case and some lower to avoid conflicts with browser defined keys. |
| | 66 | I find for example in Firefox and IE on windows that 'a' works as well as 'A' but 'l' does not work for 'L'. |
| | 67 | cboos: 'l' is reserved for Vim like behavior, see #7867 |
| | 68 | }}} |
| | 69 | |
| | 70 | For the Subversion backend, some advanced additional features are available: |
| | 71 | - The `svn:needs-lock` property will be displayed |
| | 72 | - Support for the `svn:mergeinfo` property showing the merged and eligible information |
| | 73 | - Support for browsing the `svn:externals` property |
| | 74 | (which can be [TracIni#svn:externals-section configured]) |
| | 75 | - The `svn:mime-type` property is used to select the syntax highlighter for rendering |
| | 76 | the file. For example, setting `svn:mime-type` to `text/html` will ensure the file is |
| | 77 | highlighted as HTML, regardless of the file extension. It also allows selecting the character |
| | 78 | encoding used in the file content. For example, if the file content is encoded in UTF-8, |
| | 79 | set `svn:mime-type` to `text/html;charset=utf-8`. The `charset=` specification overrides the |
| | 80 | default encoding defined in the `default_charset` option of the `[trac]` section |
| | 81 | of [TracIni#trac-section trac.ini]. |

| | 83 | MMM: I found this section a bit hard to understand. I changed the first item as I understood that well. |
| | 84 | but I think the other items could be changed also |
| | 85 | cboos: in the meantime, I've added the ''advanced'' word as a hint this can be a bit complex... |
