In the history view, I would like to be (optionally) able to see the tags, interlaced with the actual commits. The idea is to get an immediate view of all commits that happened between specific tags. The actual format for displaying the tags can certainly be discussed, I have no strong opinion on this myself. We may want to let the admin filter which tags should show up that way, maybe even letting him/her define primary and secondary tag formats (think main releases vs. release candidates) for nicer output. Then we may want to group (or hide) tags when a file hasn't been modified in a long time. But these are implementation details, even the raw functionality would be quite useful IMHO, and hopefully not too difficult to implement. At the moment I am using a custom tool when I need to answer this kind of question, but being backed-up by quilt, it's quite slow and disk-consuming. I would love to be able to get rid of it and use only gitweb. Thanks, -- Jean Delvare
