Group matching/similar clones in history

[alexheretic]

Since clones are generally meant to be rerun again and again over time, it'd be nice for the history view to allow managing these more easily.

The history is currently a list ordered with the most recent task at the top.

v0.16

History

• sda1 arch -> /mnt/backups - 2 days ago
  • Image file arch-2017-09-11...
  • Image size 6 GiB
  • Runtime 0:02:00
• sda2 ubuntu -> /mnt/backups - 2 days ago
• sda1 arch -> /mnt/backups - 9 days ago
• sda2 ubuntu -> /mnt/backups - 9 days ago
• sda1 arch -> /mnt/backups - 16 days ago
• sda2 ubuntu -> /mnt/backups - 16 days ago

For this kind of usage it'd be more useful to group, something like:

future version

History

• sda1 arch -> /mnt/backups - 2 days ago (3 total)
• sda2 ubuntu -> /mnt/backups - 2 days ago (3 total)

Which would expand on a single click to:

future version

History

• sda1 arch -> /mnt/backups - 2 days ago (3 total)
  • 2 days ago
    • Image file arch-2017-09-11...
    • Image size 6 GiB
    • Runtime 0:02:00
  • 9 days ago
    • Image file arch-2017-09-04...
    • Image size 5.9 GiB
    • Runtime 0:02:02
  • 16 days ago
    • Image file arch-2017-08-28...
    • Image size 5.8 GiB
    • Runtime 0:01:54
• sda2 ubuntu -> /mnt/backups - 2 days ago (3 total)

This grouping will only be for successful clones. Restores, in progress & failed ones will still be separate.

It should pave the way for a little group management too, ie delete all/clear all (in the example deleting/forgetting all 3 clone images). Also some conveniences like a settings for 'keep latest n clones after re-running'
