      When viewing a console log of builds - it is often useful to see the start of the log, and skip in the middle - not just skip from the start of the log. Such as to quickly see revision numbers, what agent it's building up, upstream jobs, etc.

      It would be nice if the 'skipped' view would show the first 20-40 lines of the file, then skip to wherever it picks up again.

      Even better would be to show the first and last 15-20 lines of build output from every build step, but that's likely a lot more complicated. Even better than that would be if it supported folding the output like teamcity (one of the few things I liked better about TC) - but that's just a pipe dream.

      First step - please modify the skipped log screen to show the beginning of the build log before skipping lines.
