Could org-tags-sparse-tree show the hierarchy ?

Could org-tags-sparse-tree show the hierarchy ?

Hello,

I recently came across org-mode and decided to give it a try.

One thing is bugging me, however : when I do a tags search using 'C-c
\' (org-tags-sparse-tree), I'd expect to see the full hierarchy
"leading" to my tagged headlines, but it only shows me the result
(correctly indented, however) and the associated top-level heading.

I had a look at the offending function and I realized that just
removing "(org-show-hierarchy-above nil)" from the "let" solves my
problem :

(defun org-tags-sparse-tree (&optional arg match)
  "Create a sparse tree according to tags search string MATCH.
MATCH can contain positive and negative selection of tags, like
\"+WORK+URGENT-WITHBOSS\"."
  (interactive "P")
  (let ((org-show-following-heading nil))
    (org-scan-tags 'sparse-tree (cdr (org-make-tags-matcher match)))))

For now, I just defined another function which does just that and
bound it to 'C-c \' instead, but I thought I'd post something on the
list because since both org-show-following-heading and
org-show-hierarchy-above are customizable, I can't see the need for
this let... would it cause any bug elsewhere ?

Or maybe you've already changed that : I'm using the 4.49 version
(couldn't find a public cvs : is there one ?)

Regards,

This is because my feeling was that the compacted tree works better for 
the TAG trees.  But I will make this configurable now.

Ah, ok. I use my todo items as actions and their parent hierarchy
gives me useful context : the tags allow me to give my actions some
indication about where or when I can do them (like the contexts of in
gtd), whereas the parents give me a clear indication of why I have to
do them (much like the areas of responsibility in gtd, too).

That's why I wanted to modify this function.

cool, thank you :)

By the way, you didn't answer about the public cvs : do you have one
or do you prefer to rely on regular releases ?
