The pushlog hgweb code has a feature for visualizing repositories. See https://hg.mozilla.org/hgcustom/version-control-tools/file/d340711f1e5a/hgext/pushlog-legacy/www

AFAICT all this code came from bsmedberg during a coding spree on March 25, 2008 and again on April 14, 2008. This code appears to be not used. Furthermore, it doesn't work with modern versions of Mercurial.

As cool as this feature looks, it looks completely dead and is currently only making the code more complicated. I propose nuking it.

If we want to bring back a repository visualizer, the code is there in history for us to look at.

It looks like there are some hidden uses of hgwebjson.py. I'm going to keep that file around for the moment. It's time on the chopping block will come soon.

I guess I was wrong about these json endpoints not working: they do work. I was just trying to access them under e.g. /family (since that is the name of the web command). I forgot the hgweb dispatcher does some path munging. So the actual paths are things like /json-family. And these URLs *do* work. I'll need to audit the logs to see if anyone is using these.

lgtm, if anybody complains we can add it back in

Auditing the server logs, json-info is heavily used. It looks like some consumer of the Firefox trees is polling the server for JSON info.

I dropped the removal of the hgwebjson code from the series and pushed the remaining 2 patches.

I'd still like to see this code die. But that can be put off until another day.

I managed to find https://github.com/darchons/tbpl-heatmap/blob/master/fetch-data.js#L18

Though it's quite tied to TBPL currently, so will stop working once TBPL is EOLed.
