Subscribe to code line changes

Description

When working with a very big group of developers, it usually happens you do things out of necessity and leave annotations as FIXMEs, HACKs, TODOs, etc for future development. Sometime you are just viewing some code and would like when something changes there.

Whatever your reason is, if another developer fix or changes lines, you don't have a way of be notified.

Proposal

Be able to follow codes by file lines. If some other developer changes a line you follow, an alert is sent to the you.

Further tuning:

  • Gitlab unfollows you automatically after the alert is sent. Click the link sent to you to view the changes and re-subscribe if needed.
  • Automatically subscribe developers to lines they add with commonly know annotations (FIXME, TODO, etc). This is actually what I need the most, but I imagine the alert mechanism needs to be implemented first.
