Description

If you go to any directory in Moodle in the web view and do not select any particular branch you see all revisions regardless of branch. In contrib, however, a null response to the branch dropdown seems to infer the HEAD branch (you see no revisions in other branches). If you go to the log screen for a particular file, however, the list is complete.

No the end of the world, but confusing.

Hmm, I can't see any difference, the software is the same and the tags are the same ... please reopen if you want, with screenshots ...

I worked out why in the end....

It's because (almost always) in moodle the developer commits to the branch and then to HEAD, therefore the newest commit is always HEAD. This is not the case in contrib where commits are not necessarily made to HEAD. The directory view does, in fact, show the latest commit to HEAD by default so can look a little strange if you pick a project where development is only on branches.

Now I know
