Description tomzi 2013-07-31 11:04:18 UTC
From a senior developer perspective I'd like to review the code that has been implemented in the last development cycle (eg 2 weeks = 1 scrum sprint). 

For this I'd like to 
- Search History with Filter '[UserStory-542]' (which works)
- Goto Diff 

-> Now you can only see a list of changes grouped by revision.

What I'd need most now, is a grouping by Filename, where I can see a diff of the changes that I've filtered ('[UserStory-542]'). So if the filter returns me 
Revision 2500 to 2854 and I click on the grouped Filename it should open a diff of this filename from Revision 2550-2854

This is the only view very I actually can see the consolidated changes in the last development cycle

The current grouping by revision would show me files multiple time which is frustrating to go through, since I am only interested in the 'final' stage

Isn't the view you're looking for by any chance the History Tab in editor?
1) Open the file
2) Switch to the History Tab where you can see the history for the single file

With history: I only see the history of one file. But for the codereview - I don't even know which file to open.

That's why I have to do a 'Search History' to find all files that where changed in the 'last x weeks' for '[user story x]'.

But in this view I only see changes from the perspective of 'revisions' which are not helpful.

From a perspective of a 'codereviewer' I need all changes that have been made in the last development cycle (eg 2 weeks) within a certain user story. We use a commit hook to ensure that we always commit changes with the '[User Story X]' as prefix in the message. And the result needs to be groupable by filename, only then I can see all the files that have been changed in this development cycle in the current user story
