Re: [platform-vcm-dev] Repositories view updates

That's great James! Now that we have a CVS specific repositories browser, we can look into supporting the following:

- Showing files in the Attic (either with a separate Attic directory or with a different Image).
- Showing last age, last author and last comment like the web repo browser.
- Have a context menu to show an annotated view of the file (finger pointing mode<g>)
- Enable opening of a file with the correct editor (e.g. java or xml). I remember that we tried to do this but a UI problem needed fixing to support this.

These are not high priority, but would make the CVS repository browser very cool!

Changes to the Repositories View:

1. Persists data between view invocations.
2. Instead of just showing you HEAD, it categorized by tag.
3. You can define your own tag by hand.
4. You can auto-define tags from a file or files.
5. You can discard both tags and repositories.
6. Sorting improvements


Still to do:

1. Persist data between workspace invocations. (Monday).
2. Differentiation between different tag types (Branch, Version, Date). 
(Need support from CVS core).
3. Events! Discarding or defining tags and repos does not update the view, 
you have to hit refresh.
4. Performance improvements (In tandem with CVS core).
5. Browsing branches other than HEAD is broken (In Mike's inbox, should be 
simple fix).


This is a change in presentation from the 1.0 views, where you had Streams 
and Project Versions under the repository root. I think we will have to 
play with this to see how it works, but it is closer to the way CVS works 
than the old repo view.

Give the repositories view a shot and tell me what you think.
