</div>While this is nice for you I don't like it from a maintainer/user POV. I<br>
expect all code related to KDevelop to reside somewhere on <a href="http://git.kde.org" target="_blank">git.kde.org</a>.<br>
Please, could we move it to:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://projects.kde.org/projects/playground/devtools/plugins" target="_blank">https://projects.kde.org/projects/playground/devtools/plugins</a><br>
<br>
And - once you are confident it's production ready, go through kdereview to<br>
finally have it in kdevplatform itself.<br>

</div>Sounds good and I'm not sure we have UI/API for some parts of this. Aleix<br>
would know more though. Also: If you have ideas on how to extend the DVCS Api<br>
in KDevplatform, don't hesitate to come forward.<br></blockquote><div>vcsLocation and repositoryLocation is API targeted to deal with VcsLocation interfaces.</div><div><br></div><div>::repositoryLocation will return a VcsLocation instance.</div>
<div>::vcsLocation will return a widget that can be used to create a VcsLocation targetting that specific vcs system.</div><div><br></div><div>You can check in the git plugin how all this works.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">

<br>
</div>I'd say from newest to oldest, like I expect "[git/svn/cvs] log" to work.<br>

<br>
</div>Assuming the file was not changed in the editor, we could try to come up with<br>
something. I think it's useful. At least a dialog that shows all changed files<br>
at once and offers you to reload them all would be useful.<br></blockquote><div>We should come up with smth better than a MessageBox. Ideas are welcome.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">

Aleix, can you change that?<br></blockquote><div>Yes, I can put some time to that. Please let me know what's bugging you.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">

<br>
</div>Sounds like a valid complaint.<br></blockquote><div>Yes... I agree, the guy who designed that (and then disappeared) created something _very_ depending on Git. I'd like feedback on that regard.</div><div> </div>
