Description Stefan Lay CLA 2010-09-08 09:19:17 EDT 
It would be useful to look for branches or tags using the "Find"-field in the history view.
Comment 1 Mathias Kinzler CLA 2011-03-30 07:13:57 EDT 
I wonder if this is obsolete with Matthias' improvements in change

Comment 2 Stefan Lay CLA 2011-03-31 06:28:30 EDT 
I would say it is not obsolete but less important. The "Find" field is easier to find than the fact that link with selection works also for tags and branches.
Comment 3 Stefan Lay CLA 2011-03-31 06:29:22 EDT 
Can the coding to scroll to the branch or tag be reused for the find field?

There's a new option in the dropdown and branches/tags are also found when using the default "All" option.

Thanks Andreas!
Comment 7 Robin Stocker CLA 2014-08-19 10:21:28 EDT 
Note that the branch/tag has to be visible in the history to be found, e.g. with "Show All Branches and Tags" or if the shown history contains the branch/tag.
