    1. COYes, a full clone of a single branch probably won't save much, but I expect a shallow clone of a single branch to approximate the size of a git archive, plus allow me to `git pull`

    2. CO@Allen: but a git pull would mean having git on the production plateform, no? And that is generally considered as a "bad" practice.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
