Spare me the bad jokes please and let's stay with the facts. I didn't hack
git, I just used its commands. What you are suggesting is an addition to
Mercurial, with actual code involved.
Anyway, the bad news is: the suggested Mercurial extension doesn't exist and
my hack doesn't work. Now that I have thought of dropping the
page/inode/dentry caches and try again, I have learned that a 'git log
--decorate >log' takes more than 4 minutes with those tags and only 4 seconds
without those tags (both measured with empty caches).
Starting gitk takes more than 5 minutes with those tags from cold caches and
a couple of seconds without them. So, nice idea, but bad side-effect ;-)
That basically leaves us with no tool matching our criteria (and no,
subversion is no solution).
cheers,
Oliver
