Re: Viewing Subversion in 3D (without glasses)

That sort of information can be represented in the current 2D Subversion
space as the line between two points:

Example: http://www.svnflash.com/images/svnflash/branch_is_2d.png

If the */a/b* item at the *N+2* revision is replaced (could be also copied
or merged) with the previous content of the */a/c* item that produces a line
on the same plane surface:

*/a/c@(N+1)->/a/b@(N+2)*

In general, any information which can be represented as a group of points of
type *path_at_revision* can be represented as a curve belonging to a 2D plane
surface.

In other words: (path, revision) is a vector on the 2D space. So a 3rd
coordinate/concept (path, revision, ?) should be needed in order to get a
3D space.
