Consider showing all revisions on the revision overview

Problem/Motivation

#2713587: NodeController::revisionOverview() shows no revisions if node has no translation for current language brought up again that we have a conflict between trying to show only translation-relevant content in places like admin listings, vs. showing people the full history of nodes. This is also a conflict between trying to maintain the original UX of translation sets from 6/7 vs. the field translation approach.

Overall I think the revision tab should show all edits to a node regardless of affected language. For example how else would you undo adding a translation except reverting to the revision just before? We could then have a per-language filter on the page to show only affected languages. Or two tab

Proposed resolution

1. Status quo
2. Show all revisions
3. Have an 'all revisions' tab
4. Show all revisions but have the option to filter by language

  • Usability

    Makes Drupal easier to use. Preferred over UX, D7UX, etc.

  • Needs screenshots

    The change alters the user interface, so before and after screenshots should be added to document the UI change. Make sure to capture the relevant region only. Use a tool such as Aviary on Windows or Skitch on Mac OS X.

    Another related problem at would be solved by this: The paging is done in NodeController::getRevisionIds(); that returns 50 revisions at a time. Then in ::revisionOverview(), some of the revisions may be skipped. This can result in an empty results page. I've seen a pager with several pages, but only two revisions that actually appear anywhere.
