*Background:* We often need to review old code changes, but only have an old revision number without knowing the branch. Tortoise SVN doesn’t expose a good way to look up a specific revision. The only way I know to do it is by opening the Repo Browser and doing a Show Log on the repo’s root folder, but changing the revision in the Log window can take a really, really long time in a repo with 1.7 million commits. (It seems like it’s doing a log from HEAD, even though you entered an old start revision.) If you set the old revision in the Repo Browser first, then doing a log of the root folder is fast, but this process involves a lot of steps and isn’t intuitive.
*The feature:* This patch file adds a “Show log of repo at revision…” command to the Explorer context menu. Selecting it on any SVN-controlled file or folder will show a dialog asking for a revision number, then show the log starting at that revision. It always shows the log of the root folder, ignoring the specific file(s) or folder(s) that were selected in Explorer. *Questions for reviewing the patch:* - Where should it go in the context menu? I put it at the end of the section with “Show log”, after “Revision graph” for now. - Should it be added to any other context menus? - I used the same YesNoPair filters as ShellMenuLog. Are those appropriate? - I added a new L"tsvn_logext" MenuInfo::verb string for this command, but I’m not sure what that’s used for. - Is svn.GetRepositoryRoot(cmdLinePath) the right way to get the root path from an arbitrary path passed on the command line?
