Using gmail as grep¶
Gmail’s search function works very well.
Subversion mails me the svn diff for all the checkins.
I cannot remember where I added a certain helper function but I’m sure I did it somewhere. I might remember a term I put in the commit message.
Combination: just search in gmail. Handy when it is on a branch you haven’t checked out locally, for instance.
Of course I’ll stick to using trusty old grep in most cases, but this is a handy addition to my arsenal. And the results are better than what I’m getting out of trac.
