Bring the powerful IntelliJ-style SVN History experience to Visual Studio Code. This extension provides a professional, highly integrated timeline to navigate Subversion logs with a native look and feel.
✨ Key Features
📅 Smart Timeline
Navigation made easy. Commits are automatically grouped into intuitive time periods like Today, Yesterday, Last Week, or Older, allowing you to scan your project history at a glance.
🎨 Professional Annotations (Blame)
Get instant context on every line of code without leaving the editor.
IntelliJ-style Gutter: Author names and revisions are displayed on the left side, always visible when toggled.
Dynamic Toggle: Easily enable or disable annotations from the editor title bar or context menu.
Performance Focused: Efficient XML parsing and decoration management with local caching.
🖼️ Professional Detail Panel
A side-by-side interface that lets you inspect commit details without losing context:
VS Code Native UI: A redesigned file list that perfectly matches the built-in Source Control view.
Rich Iconography: Integration with @vscode/codicons and color-coded file extension badges for instant recognition.
Path Splitting: Clearly see the filename and its parent directory in a clean, single-row layout.
⚡ Power User Actions
One-Click Diff: Click any file to open the native VS Code diff editor and compare revisions instantly.
Get Version (Revert): Directly overwrite your local workspace file with a specific revision from history (includes a safety confirmation dialog).
Explorer & Editor Integration: Right-click any file in the Explorer or any open Editor tab to jump straight to its SVN history.
🔍 Search & Filtering
Real-time Filter: Search through hundreds of commits by Author, Message, or Revision number.
User Filtering: Quickly filter history to show only commits from specific project contributors.
Fast Performance: Uses incremental loading (50 commits per batch) to keep the UI snappy even in massive repositories.
⌨️ Keyboard Mastery
Stay in the flow with full keyboard support:
Use Up/Down arrows to navigate the log.
Enter to focus on details.
Escape to quickly close the panel or clear filters.
🔒 Security & Performance
Built for Scale: Repository root caching and debounced searching ensure minimal system impact.
Shell Injection Proof: All SVN commands are executed via safe argument arrays, never raw strings.
XSS Prevention: Strict Content Security Policy (CSP) and DOM-safe rendering (no innerHTML for data).
Cleanup: Transparently tracks and removes temporary diff files from your system.
