Hi, I have linked the Orion client clone repository to the folder "OrionClient". I wanted to try the push feature from Orion. I did a small change in about.html and have staged, commited it. Now, for "about.html" when I clicked on More->Git Log.. I didn't find the "Push" button on the toolbar Similarly, I didn't find it at any of its parent folder level. Only at "OrionClient" folder when I clicked on More->Git Log, that I found the "Push" button. Is this the way it is supposed to work or is a bug ? I think "Push" button should be visible on all the folders/files level. Thanks & Regards, - Nayna Jain
We're still debating this, but the push action is currently available only on the Git Log page for the whole repository. I don't think it is available on the Git Log page for a single file.
I think I may have supported this restriction early on (worried about "blind push"). But now, I feel differently. If you clone (or link to a clone) at the top level repository, but commonly work within a subfolder (such as org.eclipse.orion.client.core) then it's really reasonable to want to push from there. Something is not feeling right to me in our git workflow right now. We give all this granular navigator command functionality, but if we aren't going to let you do anything once you get there, maybe we should rethink what's happening underneath. For example, maybe git log shows the log for the whole repo in which the file is located and there is another gesture (or sort order) if you are really wanting to know only about one folder.
(In reply to comment #2) > Something is not feeling right to me in our git workflow right now. Good to know that I am not the only one :-) I've been meaning to post mockups for how I think the Git UI should be structured into pages, and which functionality belongs to which page. I still plan on doing that, please keep reminding me if I keep postponing it :-)
Invalid.
