    • → State changed from “new” to “invalid”
    • → Assigned user changed from “defunkt” to “Tom Preston-Werner”

    The currently selected branch is shown in the submenu (underneath the "Source Browser" tab). Perhaps this should be made more prominent.

    • → Title changed from “Show which is Current Branch” to “Show active/chosen branch or tag more prominently”

    How about a subheadline "Viewing branch foo"? Other pages have a subheading, either marked up as H2 or DIV#path B (as in the Commits view).

    Attaching design suggestion.

    The download button, which gives a different download depending on current/chosen branch or tag, could then be more logically placed in/after this headline -- similar to the Commits view's feed icon. (Does the download-button issue need its own bug report?)
