Timeline

A contributor is a name an author's client wrote on an artifact; an account is a login on this forge. On a mirror the two barely intersect — fossil has 151 contributors and this forge has two accounts, sharing none — so the page says so, and badges the few that are both.

Read-only on purpose. A grant control here would offer to give write access to a string, and on a mirror those strings are chosen by whoever can commit upstream. The door goes to settings, where every row is a real account.

account.list is forge-wide and site-admin only, so a repo admin gets the door without the badges rather than an error. closed check-in: 8fb0a669aa user: dmestas tags: people-admin

"151 contributors" in fossil's About panel went to the fleet page: 481 names across 25 repositories, repo nav gone, search rescoped to the whole forge. people.list has taken a repo parameter all along and nothing in the UI reached it.

The per-person line differs from the fleet's on purpose. Counting repositories inside one repository always says 1, so the span of somebody's work here is the fact worth carrying instead.

Contributors(0) meant a hundred, silently, which is why the listing said "of 100" under an About panel saying 151. It means all of them now. closed check-in: 278e021086 user: dmestas tags: repo-people

zit#136 shipped --mimetype, so a remark written in the composer is stored as the Markdown it previewed as. zit#138: the title card holds the whole -m message, so the heading takes its first line. check-in: 73367a3820 user: dmestas tags: trunk

Every other row in the About panel is icon + label, and .about-sub indents 1.5rem to clear that icon. These two had no icon, so their excerpt and date hung indented under nothing. A wrapping title also needs baseline alignment, or its later lines slide back under the icon.

The note now says who wrote it, as the feed does. check-in: d6a6146502 user: dmestas tags: trunk

Notes sat third in the sidebar, under Tags. What a project has been doing is a better first answer to "what is this" than which versions it has cut — and with no tab, this is a main door to them, which reads poorly third. closed check-in: d1dde173e0 user: dmestas tags: notes-first

zit#134: landing show has to walk the whole store to FIND the record before it can answer about it, and quarry already folded that record out of its own index. zit merge --probe names the two check-ins, so the walk disappears -- 0.005s against 0.18s on this forge's own store, and the gap widens with store size, not with the number of landings.

Probing the same tips the cache is keyed on also closes a race: the key was built from resolved tips while the probe re-resolved a branch name, so a push landing between the two cached an answer under a key it did not describe.

An unresolvable tip now skips the probe instead of keying on ':' -- every landing whose branch could not be resolved shared that one cache entry and could be served another landing's verdict. check-in: bb05986ad8 user: dmestas tags: trunk
