Truncate "commit" page

Truncate "commit" page

[luc.chante]

Hi,

I wonder if there is a way to truncate the content of the "commit" page ?

I have heavy commits (like adding dependencies when using npm modules).
Beside the fact that the log is quite unusable, the rendered page can be
massive and very long to receive and/or to display.

Regards,
Luc.

I think you should be able to add "dt=2" to the query parameters in the
URL to enable the "stat only" diff mode, but it looks like we don't have
a way to enable that by default via the config.

The feature was originally added to support links to diffs between Linux
kernel versions (e.g. for the patch from v4.4.18 to v4.4.19) and it
hasn't been extended at all beyond that, but the commit page calls the
same code to generate the diff so the query parameter should work there
as well.

Hi,

It's not exactly what I'm looking for, but I will try this.
Thank you.

Yeah, I didn't think it would be exactly what you wanted but it's the
closest we have at the moment.

I think there are two small improvements which would make it much more
usable:

1) Add a link to get from stat-only mode to the full diff
2) Add a configuration variable to use stat-only mode by default

Would that get closer to what you're looking for or is there something
still missing?
