Google code project hosting doesn’t give you an easy way to filter commits easily. In any way really. Hadeer Younis has posted a nifty script that dynamically filters them from the changes page.

Being the person I am, I refactored that script for easier usage.

• Browse normally to the commit list page, example: http://code.google.com/p/smartsoft-12/source/list
• Load this once:

  if(!window.jQuery||confirm('Overwrite\x20current\x20version?\x20v'+jQuery.fn.jquery))(function(d,h,s){s=d.createElement('script');s.type='text/javascript';s.src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js';((h=document.head)||(h=document.getElementsByTagName('head'),h?h[0]:document.body)||document.documentElement).appendChild(s)})(document);
  var total_commits = -1;
  var results = false;
  function filter_commits(regex) {
      if (total_commits == -1) {
          total_commits = $('.pagination:first').text().split('of')[1].split('Older')[0].trim()
      }
      $('div.list b:last').html('Please wait while we filter the log...');
  	if (results == false)
  	    $('#colcontrol').load('list?num='+total_commits+' #colcontrol', function(){
  	        results = $('#resultstable>tbody').clone();
  			do_filter(regex);
  	    });
  	else
  		do_filter(regex);
  }
  function do_filter(regex) {
  	$('#resultstable>tbody').html(results.html())
  	$('#resultstable>tbody>tr + tr:visible').each(function(){
  		if(!$(this).text().match(regex))
  			$(this).hide()
  	});
  	$('div.list b:last').html('Committed changes (done filtering)');
  }

• Run this to filter

  // enter a regular expression to match against (username, r#, [uU]pdate issue #, etc)
  filter_commits("kamasheto");
