fun fact, I wrote/adapted a git plugin for jira in 2008 (and 2012). The original was a subversion plugin and I changed the meat to speak git.

The license was MIT - or I released MIT, its been a while - so someone actually sold it for a while. I considered buying my own code when I had a specific issue but had to fix it myself in 2012.

The original subversion plugin was written by one of atlassian's co-founders.

#jira #git

It wouldn't surprise me if this was about page performance. They probably had 95 and couldn't do 99 with it in the page.

Meanwhile sitting in my sidebar are two useless plugins not even used in this project^W_space_.

(Don't even get me started. ...So they've run out of ideas eh?)

Speaking of performance, I knew my plugin wouldn't be fast for any large repo - variously it indexed the repo into lucene then walked different branches to find containment. It's been to long for me to be specific about O-ness but it was definitely viable for small repos.
