It should use the |firstline filter as is used in changelog and shortlog.
Why only show the first line?
This is what hg does nearly everywhere: show the first line of the commit message in the overview, then a user can expand it to show the full message.
Ah, I didn't know I could click the commit to read the entire message.  It would be a lot less confusing if the overview included a clickable "..." on cut-off commit messages.
I'd prefer to just turn them into <br>s and show the entire thing. We typically don't get huge commit messages.
Actually, I like Jesse's idea. We could show only the first line of multi-line commit messages, with a clickable ellipsis that shows the rest (using JS).
No, I'd like to have the ellipsis link just have an onclick that expands the commit message from the first line to show the entire message.
I think most of these patches are probably ok, I just didn't find time to review them. I haven't context switched to look at pushlog stuff in a long time, so they fell to the back burner. Plus, Sid (while he did great work), finished his course and moved on and stopped bugging me for reviews.
Ted? Let's try to finish this one.
like implementing that. We can always do it later.
The clickable ellipsis would be best but this is terrible right now and putting linebreaks in is better than what we currently have.
