Redmine

This plugin adds a new custom field format named File (revision-managed) to Redmine, allowing uploaded text files to be managed with revision history.

Features¶

• Adds File (revision-managed) as a custom field format
• Supports file uploads in the same way as the existing file custom field
• Shows the history of uploaded files
• Shows diffs between revisions
• Lets you switch between File and File (revision-managed) using dedicated conversion buttons in the UI
• Provides rake tasks for orphan attachment cleanup and custom field format conversion

Notes¶

• This plugin assumes uploaded files are text files
• If Git is not available on the server, the standard Redmine file diff feature is used; if Git is available, the result of git diff --no-index is displayed.
• Git is required on the server to download diff files.
