Beanstalk

It's conventional style in a lot of projects to provide a summary of the commit as the first line of the commit message, and then follow it with a blank line and a more detailed description of the changes. This way, you can have long, detailed commit messages without having a giant chunk of text show up in the repo browser. Show only the first line in the repo browser, and then show the rest of the commit message when viewing the actual changeset.

I was wondering if there was a plan to integrate the beanstalk app with a jabber bot or IRC bot. I don't use campfire with my developers, but do use IRC and we all have Jabber JIDs - so integrating with either IRC or jabber would be awesome.

I'd love to be able to search though commit history either based on keywords. I spend a good amount of time figuring out what other team members did, and being able to search for concepts throughout the history of commits would be killer for me.

I don't know if you would want to have search terms applied to commit mesages, code content, or usernames, but there is definitely a chance for some interesting features here. Perhaps, instead of search, take advantage of tagging...that would work quite well with the Lighthouse integration.

This is no small task, but you could probably add some of this functionality just by tossing acts_as_ferret onto changeset models. (BTW, I'm assuming this is built in Rails and not .Net...I know Wildbit does both) This could definitely grind your server pretty hard, though.

Could you add an integration that just adds an email address to a project for all commit notifications?

I love the lighthouse integration, but we have people in our group who don't have access to the repository or to lighthouse. They just like to see the general flow of things and we do that by sending out commit notifications to an email list.

If there were a way to add an email address to receive all commit notices that would be great.

Hi,

It would be nice if you have another payment option like Paypal. Because finding credit card every time for payment is not my thing. Too much to input. hehe..

I noticed toggling between openid and username/password did not clear the contents of previous login method chosen. On one project I have two beanstalk accounts, one for myself and one for the deploy user. When trying to login using username/password for the deploy user, the openid field still had my openid in it and logged me in using that.
