• Log gist:

In the spirit of AUTO_WATCH_NEW_REPOS, it would be nice to have options to automatically add the user as a watcher on first interactions, like:

• AUTO_WATCH_ON_CHANGES = true: any write operation on a server's repository (like push) will subscribe the user to the repository.
• AUTO_WATCH_ON_CLONE = true: clone (u other relevant operations) will subscribe the user to the repository.
• AUTO_ORG_MEMBER_VISIBLE = true: member is visibile by default.

i think this is related: #8243

They should be the same.

It should be "auto-subscribe", as "watch" is for all activities of a repository ?

@strk My original idea was to watch the entire repo after the users commits/pushes anything to it. It's implemented in #7657, but that PR is not up-to-date.

This is not the same as #7512. This is for subscribing to repos when commiting to them, while #8243 is for subscribing to issues that one creates. Sorry about my lousy description here.

This has been implemented to a satisfactory level. Suscription upon cloning could be implemented as well, but that would be very difficult to do as git has no hook to catch a clone operation (it had one but it was removed long ago).

Closing this.

@guillep2k think this is fine for now :D
