A few weeks ago a change was deployed to the plugins directory. If you click “Other Versions” on the sidebar when viewing a plugin, there’s a new section called “Browse the Code” with three links to:
- the development log on Plugins Trac
- the plugin’s directory in Subversion
- the stable tag in Subversion (or trunk)
Hopefully this makes it easier to find the right URL for plugin checkouts, and to browse the code.
Check it out here.

This is fantastic @nacin! I’ve bumped my… elbow on this many times previously.

I always go from the Trac /log/ to the /browser/ URL, I want to read the code as it currently is, but with the nice browse interface that Trac offers. Have you considered not linking to the SVN page but to the Trac browser page? The “Repository URL” link at the top of the page should then maybe link to the real SVN URL, with an extra “Directory URL” that links to the plugin directory page.

This was designed to provide a direct link to the SVN, for such operations, rather than for actually browsing the code. I tried to not keep the list of links from becoming too bloated, and considering that you can get from /log/ to /browser/ pretty easily, I think it’s currently pretty good. Maybe that’s just me though.

I would actually prefer the Trac browse page (and thus two Trac links) more than the two different SVN links. But as you said, maybe that’s just me.

Well done! That will definitely make getting the SVN URL much easier.
