| 1 | = The Trac Timeline = |
| 2 | The timeline provides a historic view of the project in a simple report. |
| 3 | It lists all Trac events that have occured in chronological order, with a |
| 4 | brief description of each event and if applicable, the person responsible for |
| 5 | the change. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | The timeline lists the following type of events: |
| 8 | * '''Wiki page events''' -- Creation and changes |
| 9 | * '''Ticket events''' -- Creation and resolution/closing |
| 10 | * '''Source code changes ''' -- Subversion commits |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Each event entry provides a hyperlink to the specific event in question, and |
| 13 | in the case svn commit log messages, displays the commit message. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | == Subversion Commit Messages == |
| 16 | It's important to note that WikiFormatting can be used in commit log messages, |
| 17 | including TracLinks. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | This allows developers hyperlink and refer to issue tickets, wikipages and files |
| 20 | directly when committing a patch to the repository. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Example: |
| 23 | |
| 24 | {{{ $ svn commit -m "Updated foo to bar. See FooBar. This fixes bug #42." }}} |
| 25 | |
| 26 | This is a subtle but powerful feature. |
