1165118 - Provide a view similar to bugzilla's "Details", and also plain/text patch

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(MozReview Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Olli Pettay [:smaug][[e-mail]]]

I've got used to reviewing using bugzilla's "details", or in practice I pretty much always
open the patch in two tabs: one has bugzilla's "details", one has the plain patch as such.

Since mozreview doesn't provide really much to help my reviewing (for example it is not linkifying 
code so that I could look easily for the callers of the relevant method, so still most of the reviewing time goes to
mxr'ing the relevant code), I'd prefer to be able to do reviews the same way as in bugzilla.
Right now whenever I get a mozreview review request, I download the patch and look at the patch file in an editor.
And then I mark r+/- in bugzilla, not in mr.

So, a view which doesn't split the changes to old(left)/new(right), but just have the changes with -+ in one view would be great, and
also a link to view the patch as plain/text in browser.

(and yes yes, old grumpy reviewer stuck with his habits.)

I get what you're saying, but I don't think we can justify a big feature like this for such a specific use case.  We can do other things you suggest, like linkifying code.
