Hi Jan,

It is not possible with the mcz format, because you have to open the zip file to recover the metadata.

Given the formats used, to just read the last commit message, you will read the entire history instead of just the last one.

Hello

Lots of times I want to take a quick look at what is new in external
packages I use, therefore I open repository in monticello, click at mcz and
look at commit note. However, most of the times I want just to look at it,
the commit time, author and note, not load whole mcz with its content.

I would like to ask whether it is possible to change way of loading mcz in
way that it would download only these metaatributes of mcz when browsing
them (when I select mcz in list of all mcz of package) and download whole
mcz only when I do load/change/merge etc.

Jan
