[ BUILD # : 200510031800 ] [ JDK VERSION : 1.5.0_03 ] The old CVS had a "Status" view that showed version numbers with tags alongside them. There is apparently no way in new CVS to tell which versions are tagged or which versions have which tags. I see this as a serious regression in functionality.
I miss this functionality as well.

Glenn, what's your use case, please? Current Search History UI supports following cases: - list all files in revision given by a tag (there is impl bug now) - list all changes on a branch - list all changes between two tags
What we don't have (that we did in 4.1) is the ability to see the list of revisions with commit comments, and in that list, to be able to see which tags are on which revisions. I want to know what changes were made on which revisions between the tags. Your third example *almost* provides that, but what if I select two discontiguous tags and get a fairly long list? What about the tags in between, I won't see them in the list, right? So when viewing the search results I only know that the first one in the list corresponds to the first tag I searched by, and the last one to the other tag. If the tags were just displayed in the list, the problem would disappear (and searching between two tags would be unnecessary). See attachment for an example of what this might look like.
Created attachment 27001 [details] possible way of displaying tags
> What about the tags in between I have seen that you use numbered tag naming schema... so you can guess. > possible way of displaying tags Crucial problem with this design is that one file revision (for stable files) can have many tags. To sum up I hope that Search History's From: To: almost eliminated need for displaying raw tags.
That doesn't cover this scenario: rev tag 1.5 TAG_3 1.4 1.3 TAG_2 1.2 1.1 TAG_1 If I search for changes between TAG_3 and TAG_1, where will I see which revision is TAG_2?
Only by executing next search: From: TAG_1 To: TAG_2 or From: TAG_2 To: TAG_3 or From: TAG_2 To: TAG_2 to get exactly TAG_2 revisions
Wow. this is a pain. .. In addition to not seeing tags in history, I can't even determine if the file I'm working on has a tag!

Just guessing, but for what I'm reading I understand pkuzel mean the information is easily available but wont show because involves creating kind-of additional array field. Since this is an information field, why don't you create a Info string with 'tags: rel-1-1 rel-1-2' and locate it where Glenn has said? Meant to make it easy... I hope ;D
More people are complaining about this in the mailing list, it should probably become a P2 issue then.
With "old"/alternate CVS integaration I used CVS->history->log to determine the revisions for certain labels (tags). I need a list of Tags and their revisions. And it would be nice to show revisions as buttons which when clicked display a list of tags which sit on a revision.
I agree with misterm (Thu Dec 8 13:39:33 +0000 2005) that this should be bumped up in priority. I had to do some research yesterday in some older revisions and I was very frustrated. The Version Explorer was such a powerful tool! Looking at the comments, I don't think anyone mentioned the ability to easily open a previous revision from the tree. Summary of additional functionality that I would like to see: 1) See branch tags in tree 2) Be able to view the "status" (commit comment, tags, commit date,...) of a node in the tree. (A dialog like in NB 4.1 is fine) 3) Be able to open previous revisions from the tree
When I wrote my previous comment I was focused on my current problem, which was exploring different versions of a file. I was using the "Diff" view when searching history. Now I see the submitter had noticed a general issue that the old "CVS status" is nowhere at all! This should be a P1 issue, as this is a serious regression in functionality. I am beginning to really enjoy the new CVS module, but its deficiencies are crippling. This issue's priority field is editable, but I am not sure if I have the audacity to just change it. Still, I would hope that the javacvs team takes a serious look at this and patches this soon for NB 5.0. I would be very interested to hear some feadback on this issue from the javacvs team.

Let me be the first to welcome our new tag-showing, branch-waving, History Searching CVS!
:-) been waiting on this one. How do I get to view this ( daily build of 6.0 maybe ) ?
