Hi Mariano,

�� �� for this in Squeak I added a simple menu pick to the Monticello Browser's package list menu called "search history" which opens up a workspace containing the entire history as a flat string.�� I then just search using ctrl-f.�� You can find it in a current squeak trunk image.


Hi Eliot,��

Yes, I was thinking the same.�� In the meanwhile, I did this extension:

MCWorkingCopy >> gtInspectorIrIn: composite
<gtInspectorPresentationOrder: 30>��
composite text��
title: 'History';
display: [ :workingCopy |
TimeProfiler spyOn: [| stream versionInfos |
stream := String new writeStream.��
versionInfos := workingCopy ancestry withBreadthFirstAncestors select: [:each | each isKindOf: MCVersionInfo].
versionInfos do: [ :each |��
stream nextPutAll: each summary; cr; cr.
].
stream contents.].
]

And then I can use the regular cmd+f to search the string.
But I have to manually inspect the package doing something like:


(MCWorkingCopy allManagers detect: [:each | each packageName = 'MyPackage']) inspect.

How many times have you tried to search a string as a comment of a commit in all the history? Myself: many many times. I know we need much better tools for that, store the history in a another way, provide a nicer API, etc etc. And I know there were topics about that.��

However, I would deeply appreciate a very short term solution for ease that. The model side is as simple as this:

| packageName ancestry anscestors substring |��
packageName := 'MyPackageXX'.
substring := 'whatever I want to search'.
ancestry := (MCWorkingCopy allManagers detect: [:each | each packageName = packageName] ) ancestry. ��
anscestors := ancestry withBreadthFirstAncestors select: [:each | each isKindOf: MCVersionInfo].
anscestors select: [ :each | each message includesSubstring: substring ]

Do you think it's worth a simple UI tool? Custom inspector of MCAncestry?

Cheers,
