Description Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2004-05-25 07:53:27 EDT 
It would be neat to have similar functionality to "Commit Sets" layout for any
directory of the project to get a retrosective view on commits up to some date.
Probably it will be not a bad idea to allow to specify a date range for that view.
Comment 1 Jean-Michel Lemieux CLA 2004-05-25 14:49:41 EDT 
In RC1 the compare with date tag will provide showing the changes from date to
tag in workspace. If you want to compare against two dates you will have to
checkout a date tag. Alternatively, you can easily compare current branch back
to a date.
Comment 2 Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2004-07-23 12:09:19 EDT 
Jean-Michel, this isn't about compare. It is about to see what was changed along
with CVS comments. E.g. to see all intermediate iterations since selected date tag.

Anyway, is there are any chance to have this feature implemnted in 3.1? Thank you.
Comment 3 Jean-Michel Lemieux CLA 2004-07-26 09:25:50 EDT 
Have you even tried it? If you switch to commit sets it will show all commits
between the contents in the workspace and a date. We still don't have the option
of specifying two dates though.
Comment 4 Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2004-07-26 11:02:39 EDT 
Actually you right. Comparison with DATE tag brings all retrospective changes in
commit sets view. Thank you.

However it does not work when comparing with another tag. Should I file another
bug for that? And what about comparison between two date tags or between tag and
date from CVS Repositories view? I'm getting the following error when selecting
two date tags in there.

The server reported an error while performing the "cvs rdiff" command.
  : cvs [server aborted]: second date must come after first date!
Comment 5 Jean-Michel Lemieux CLA 2004-07-26 11:04:54 EDT 
I'll keep this bug open to track the two date case. I didn't have time to
provide support for the two dates.
Comment 6 Michael Valenta CLA 2006-06-15 14:31:29 EDT 
This would be a nice feature but we don't have the manpower to address it at this time. Patches will be accepted.
Comment 7 Denis Roy CLA 2009-08-30 02:17:56 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
