RSS feed in branch points to global feed

[gitblit]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 556

I tried to use the RSS feed accessible from the branch page to get only the changes
related to this particular branch, but the URL points to the global feed.

Any chance to get branch specific RSS feeds, so I could differentiate better the changes
in the master and the other branches?

Have you reviewed this?

Should be doable.  You will have to construct your URL manually.

Ok - I got confused by the returned feed.

The feed I access with ...
    http://server:port/feed/repository.git?h=refs%2Fheads%2FbranchName
... contains not only all the pushed commits only pushed into this specific branch.

As explanation:
- we have next to the master branch, one branch per (technical) release
- if we fixed a bug, we merge through all branches up to the master branch

In the feed for a specific branch I find all pushed commits of all branches "below"
the current and I do not find those from the "above" branches up to the master branch.

I would like to have really only those commits of one branch.

Sorry, I don't understand your request.

If I read the feed for master:
https://dev.gitblit.com/feed/gitblit.git?h=refs/heads/master

It returns the commits pushed to master.

If I read the feed for develop:
https://dev.gitblit.com/feed/gitblit.git?h=refs/heads/develop

It returns the commits pushed to develop.

My develop is ahead of my master but they share the same lineage.  Eventually if I
go far enough back in develop history I will see commits that are also on master.

If you are looking for a feed of "what is on this branch but not on another", Gitblit
does not presently support that use-case.

@MartinL0815, is this still an issue or can it be closed?
