Pasting his link https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/la/platform/external/chromium_org/log/?h=LA.AF.1.1.1 If you hover over the first log, there are about 8 tags and 5 branch points at the HEAD. Without the css trick that Konstantin is using the page will be long horizontally which is clumsy. So if we can do this: 1) Give an option to limit the entries (tag and branch name combined) 2) Add a tooltip kind of icon (like ">>") beside each tags and branches separately when the limit specified in 1 above is reached. Put the extra/old ones under this, just like in the CSS trick. Maybe there are other options to do this. Mine is just a idea to reduce clumsiness of the web view. People shouldn't turn away from cgit due to this :) > > My only thought at the moment is to support switching on/off branch and > tag names in addition to the existing support for remote branches, or to > allow filtering by pattern or regex.
