Add oldest-newest-commit-list feature

[eranshmil]

This feature adds two new links (Oldest and Newest) to the commit list pagination.
The api3 url is now exposed because I didn't want to make too many changes to support head requests.

How often do you need to reach the first commit though?

[eranshmil]

Personally, I need that often when trying to investigate something in open source projects. The blame feature isn't enough for me.

[sindresorhus]

I could see the use-case for "Newest" to go back to the first page, but I don't think I ever needed to see the oldest commits. And I don't think either are useful enough to make the default navigation noisy. I think these would be better as either keyboard shortcuts or links somewhere that are not visually disturbing the normal navigation.

[sindresorhus]

Maybe they could be small faded out links, not buttons, in positions like this:

[fregante]

The links could be more discrete chevrons «»

Newest is technically already accessible by selecting the current branch in the branch selector (two clicks though)

There’s a big implementation difference between Newest and Oldest, if we decide that Oldest isn’t worth the hassle (2 API calls on every Commits page), we could just add a Newest link

[eranshmil]

Well, I'd love to have the oldest button.
But if you think it's not worth the hassle, I don't think there's a reason to add only the newest button.

Please run this to delete the tags from your fork and locally, we keep pulling them from your fork and pushing them to this repo (we no longer use tags)

git tag -d $(git tag | grep -E '.')
git ls-remote --tags --refs origin | cut -f2 | xargs git push origin --delete

I did that, is it ok now?

[fregante]

It is thanks! And sorry if it sounded like it was your fault, I worded it badly

That's fine. :)

Really appreciate your hard work!

Please let me know what's your decision about this feature, going forward with both of the buttons (and just change the layout) or just close this PR?
Thanks!

[fregante]

I'll close this for now and I'll only implement the Newest button

[corysimmons]

fwiw I wish Oldest button got merged. I frequently just want to see how old a project is and where it started off out of sheer curiosity.

[yakov116]

@corysimmons how old is already there

[corysimmons]

@yakov116 I can't seem to find it. :\

[yakov116]

@corysimmons its on the repo bar. It was one of the last features added #2560

[corysimmons]

Ah, that explains why I missed it. Thank you so much.
