Searching for commits in a single branch is one of the most useful search operations, yet it is not supported by the IDE. Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 20130528-c0ed67b06598) Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_07 Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.3-b01
Are you sure? I thought it worked quite reliably. Simply entering "branch" (a branch's name) into the To field in the criteria searches only commits being part of the branch - which is an equivalent of searching a branch as far as i understand git. Please be more specific, describe the difference to what i wrote above and suggest a solution.
Ok, it is there but it completely unintuitive. Adding a specific field is one idea, changing the label to To/Branch is another.
I do not mind modifying the label and its tooltip. fix: http://hg.netbeans.org/core-main/rev/583275f0f0e3
Integrated into 'main-silver', will be available in build *201307011244* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-silver/rev/583275f0f0e3 User: Ondrej Vrabec <ovrabec@netbeans.org> Log: #230694 - [74cat] Show History does not allow searching for branch
Verified in 201307011244 (label and tooltip changed, simple and even advanced branchnames like master~5 or HEAD^^ worked)
